COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for clarifying that amr represents classes of auth methods and not
(always) individual methods, that all makes more sense now;-)
I think you might usefully add the phrase "classes of" (or similar) to the
draft in a few places to help folks understand that, in particular, I spotted
two places where I think something like that'd be good:
1. in the definition, I'd suggest:
OLD:
amr
OPTIONAL. Authentication Methods References. JSON array of
strings that are identifiers for authentication methods used in
the authentication.
NEW:
amr
OPTIONAL. Authentication Methods References. JSON array of
strings that are identifiers for classes of authentication methods used in
the authentication.
2. In the IANA considerations and DE guidance, maybe make the name of the new
registry reflect that these are classes, in case someone gets confused only
having looked at the IANA pages without reading the RFC, and perhaps point the
DE guidance back to the top bit where you explain this stuff and add "classes
of" in a few places in the template to save the DEs having to explain that over
and over to people who just copy templates.
Thanks,
S.
