Hi all,
Given the amount of feedback already posted here, apologies if I'm
repeating anything --
Section 3:
Characters in an RFC will generally appear in Normalization Form C
(NFC) as defined in [UnicodeNorm]. If the RFC would be more correct
and more understandable with particular characters not in NFC, the
RPC can use unnormalized text. In such a case, a text note should be
included to describe why unnormalized text was used.
Operational notes: the RPC would need a tool to assess if NFC was used,
or would they rely on the authors and stream to add a note to the
document before it enters the queue?
Nit: Change "text note" to "note"
Section 3.1:
The RPC policy should be that authors'
preferences for display of their names be honored.
Nit: This could be trimmed to say "Authors' preferences for display of
their names should be honored."
Section 3.1:
Company names and geographic names generally do not need ASCII
interpretations, but they can be included at the discretion of the
author and the RPC.
Current RPC operational procedure: Postal addresses are not required in
RFCs; however, if one is provided, the RPC will update a country name to
match the English short name for the country found here:
https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search. This is specified in the RFC Style
Guide:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7322#section-4.12
I believe there was already feedback to also include the ASCII
equivalent here.
Section 3.2:
RFCs are often displayed on systems that use only black and white,
particularly when printed.
Fairly sure most screens show color, but printers typically print in
gray scale. We do want to support clear text when printing.
Operational note: The RPC would need to assess whether any color used in
examples printed well in black and white.
Color is only mentioned with regard to examples, which seems to be a
good limitation. The RPC has concerns about authors choosing color to
emphasize normative text (e.g., MUST NOT in red) or format terms (e.g.,
in both fixed-width font and blue).
Section 3.2:
If so, those examples need to also include the "U+NNNN"
syntax.
It's been covered in the thread, but providing names for the Unicode
characters in addition to the U+ notation would be helpful to the reader.
Best regards,
Jean
