The answer to question #11 in the shepherd writeup is incomplete. I support Francesca's DISCUSS position. To answer her question about media types, I must admit I'm at a loss to understand this object notation and how it relates to a JSON payload. A reference to decoding it would be helpful. My best guess is that this one media type will be used for both cases, the payload will be something in JSON format in either case, and a consumer infers the semantics of the payload based on inspection of its structure, presumably returning an error if something unexpected is found. However, this seems peculiar in the context of media types; I would prefer to see such division done using a parameter to the media type rather than inspection, since the whole idea of labeling a payload with a media type is to know what it is you're holding before you start doing something with it. The SHOULDs in 6.2 are bare. When might one legitimately deviate from that advice? If no such reason exists, why aren't they MUSTs? Same question about the SHOULDs in 4.1 and 8.5. Regarding Sections 10.1 and 10.2, I suggest reviewing RFC 8126 for what's expected in "Interoperability Considerations". _______________________________________________ alto mailing list alto@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/alto
