Re: Last Call: draft-faltstrom-5892bis-04.txt (The Unicode code points and IDNA - Unicode 6.0) to Proposed Standard

2011-05-26 Thread Donald Eastlake
For all those people just dying to know about this character (U+19DA),
the latest Unicode code chart listing it is here
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1980.pdf
and the name of the character is NEW TAI LUE THAM DIGIT ONE.

Thanks,
Donald

   draft-faltstrom-5892bis-04.txt as a Proposed Standard

 Dear IESG,
 Is the intention that this document will update RFC 5892 or not?
 The document does not contain a Updates: header but the draft name
 suggests otherwise to me, hence my question.

 If the document does not update RFC 5892 (or some other document), I
 support publishing this document because it will not affect my
 implementation of RFC 5892.

 If the document updates RFC 5892, in order to remain compliant with the
 RFCs I would have to modify my implementation and make a backwards
 incompatible change.  Today U+19DA converts to xn--pkf.  With this
 document, I would have to raise an error for that input instead.  I
 believe a case-by-case evaluation for each modified code-point is a good
 way to determine whether or not to add an exception in the IDNA tables.
 I haven't seen any discussion why U+19DA is so harmful that it has to be
 disallowed.  On the contrary, everyone appears to agree that the code
 point is not widely used and the implications of continue permitting it
 are minor.  Thus I would support publication of the document after
 adding U+19DA to table BackwardCompatible (G) as PVALID.

 I do realize that I may be in the rough part of the consensus here,
 which happens, but I want to provide my feedback for the record and
 allow the decision process to proceed.  At least I will be able to shift
 blame to someone else if/when my users gets confused by this. :-)

Last Call: draft-faltstrom-5892bis-04.txt (The Unicode code points and IDNA - Unicode 6.0) to Proposed Standard

+1

Character set issues are inherently both very complex
and also difficult to reach consensus about.

More discussion is not at all likely to reach any
different conclusion.  It is important to document
the conclusion in this case, and to document it on the
standards track.

Yours,

As document co-editor, let me say definitively: this document does *not* update 
RFC 5892. The filename is an artifact of the early consideration and, as you 
know, disappears once the document is published as an RFC. Note the information 
at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-faltstrom-5892bis/: this is what 
the IESG is going on. There is no mention of updates anywhere there.

 If the document does not update RFC 5892 (or some other document), I

It is always nice to hear support from actual implementers. :-)

Thanks for sharing your view.  Earlier discussion suggested that the
decision of document status would be punted to the IESG, but it seems
they will only make an aggregate decision about the entire document.

Some read such suggestions as indicating they should make paragraph-long
titles. http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc-editor/tutorial.latest.pdf:

  Title

* Should be thoughtfully chosen

* No un-expanded abbreviations, except for very well known ones
  (e.g., IP, TCP, HTTP, MIME, MPLS)

* We like short, snappy titles, but sometimes we get titles like:

An alternative to XML Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP)
 for manipulating resource lists and authorization lists,
 Using HTTP extensions for Distributed Authoring and
 Versioning (DAV)

* Choose a good abbreviated title for the running header

* WebDAV Alternative to XCAP

They should not do that.

Last Call: draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-registry-fixes-08.txt (Applicability Statement: DNS Security (DNSSEC) DNSKEY Algorithm IANA Registry) to Proposed Standard

2011-05-26 Thread The IESG

The IESG has received a request from the DNS Extensions WG (dnsext) to
consider the following document:
- 'Applicability Statement: DNS Security (DNSSEC) DNSKEY Algorithm IANA
   Registry'
  draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-registry-fixes-08.txt as a Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-06-09. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) requires the use of
   cryptographic algorithm suites for generating digital signatures over
   DNS data.  There is currently an IANA registry for these algorithms
   that is incomplete in that it lacks the implementation status of each
   algorithm.  This document provides an applicability statement on
   algorithm implementation compliance status for DNSSEC
   implementations.  This status is to measure compliance to this RFC
   only.  This document replaces that registry table with a new IANA
   registry table for Domain Name System Security (DNSSEC) Algorithm
   Numbers that lists (or assigns) each algorithm's status based on the
   current reference.

Last Call: draft-ietf-dnsext-rfc2672bis-dname-22.txt (Update to DNAME Redirection in the DNS) to Proposed Standard

2011-05-26 Thread The IESG

The IESG has received a request from the DNS Extensions WG (dnsext) to
consider the following document:
- 'Update to DNAME Redirection in the DNS'
  draft-ietf-dnsext-rfc2672bis-dname-22.txt as a Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2011-06-09. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   The DNAME record provides redirection for a sub-tree of the domain
   name tree in the DNS system.  That is, all names that end with a
   particular suffix are redirected to another part of the DNS.  This is
   a revision of the original specification in RFC 2672, also aligning
   RFC 3363 and RFC 4294 with this revision.
