Hi,
My comments follow.

+------------------------------------------------------------+
1. Page 4.
"syslog content" is the management information contained
in a syslog message.
a. Are we sure about this "management information"?
It seems to be a restriction on the scope of the
information that can be carried in a syslog message.
I suggest that we drop the term "management". It
does not add any value but raises several questions.
b. What is the difference in a "syslog content" and
"syslog message"
Do we need a distinction?
2. The "syslog application" layer handles generation,
interpretation, routing and storage of syslog messages.
"handles generation" is confusing. Then the
syslog message will first appear at this layer.
But it appears before ( on top of) this layer
More about this in (c)
3. I do not agree with the first layer "content" .
On page-5 the "functions" of the layers are given, the
functions of the "content" layer are not given.
It is not clear what abstraction is intended in a layer.
But whatever that is - layer-1 (syslog content) and
layer-2(syslog application) do not belong to the same
genre. Layer-1 does not belong there.
4. On page-6
The boxes represent syslog-enabled applications.
a. Is a syslog-enabled application not a syslog
application ?
The boxes in Diagram-2 are labelled "collector" ,
"originator" which are syslog applications.
[The following comments are not related to recent changes
in the document. But, they are relevant and will need to be
addressed some time. ]
5. If, syslog-mib-tc is being published then we probably do
not need to have the paragraphs other than the first one in
section 6.2.1
6. 6.2.5 APP-NAME
The APP-NAME field SHOULD identify the device or application
that originated the message.
We need to explain "device" or drop the term. Is a host a
device?
