Subject: Re: [websec] AppsDir review of draft-ietf-websec-strict-transport-sec
Why not just say "delta-seconds is defined in Section 3.3.2 of
[RFC2616]" and leave out the restatement of the ABNF? Then it's truly
only specified in one place.
That's *exactly* what the prose ABNF rule is doing; except that it
makes the in-spec ABNF complete.
Yes, and I'm saying I think that's a risky thing to do. Granted, in this
particular case it's pretty hard to copy and get wrong, but in general it's
safer to point to an authoritative definition of something rather than copy it
just so it's all local.
Technically it *does* point to the authoritative definition.
Best regards, Julian
