Re: RFC 3580 Errata Submission

Hi,


Well, first of all, the text I quoted from 802 is in the definitions
section.  I'm not sure that definitions call for the use of normative
keywords, and second, this is an IEEE 802 document and they don't use RFC
2119 keywords. They tend to use "shall" where we would use "MUST", etc.
Okay, thanks for the clarification. To bind the IETF normativeness to the IEEE normativeness, would it help to reformulate as 

For IEEE Std 802.1X-2001 authenticators, this attribute is used
to store the bridge or Access Point MAC address. The attribute value MUST be represented as an ASCII character string in Canonical format (see IEEE Std 802)[, and the hexadecimal digits above 9 MUST be in capital letters]. 
For example, "00-10-A4-23-19-C0".


?

The text in [] hopefully solving the capitalisation question.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
