--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Technical

Reported by: Albin Johansson <[email protected]>
Date Reported: 2025-05-08
Rejected by: Deb Cooley (IESG)

Section: 4.2.7

Original Text
-------------
struct {
    NamedGroup named_group_list<2..2^16-1>;
} NamedGroupList;

Corrected Text
--------------
struct {
    NamedGroup named_group_list<2..2^16-2>;
} NamedGroupList;

Notes
-----
The specified maximum legal length of the named_group_list vector in the 
NamedGroupList structure is 2^16-1 bytes. This is invalid because NamedGroup is 
an enum that occupies two bytes, but 2^16-1 is not an exact multiple of the 
element size (2 bytes), as required in Section 3.4. It appears that the 
intended upper bound should be 2^16-2 bytes instead.

AD note: This is scheduled for the bis document via
