Re: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-v6ops-nap-06.txt



I'm sorry, but we've had WG Last Call, IETF Last Call,
and extensive IESG discussion, and the document has been
approved by the IESG. We are done.

I already observed in response to James that using
lower case 'should' in an informational document is
entirely reasonable, and I didn't think his quibble
about 'can' in his second message was worth comment.

Also his comment about "If an informational RFC is
to be a vehicle for expressing the opinions of its authors"
is irrelevant; it is a WG document that states its purpose
very clearly.

I object violently to any further editorial nit picking.

As a member of the community who will have to live with the text of this RFC until it can be obsoleted by future revisions, I'd like to suggest that the co-author's desires to see the document published as quickly as possible should be secondary to concerns from the working group that the RFC not be misleading.

Do you feel that the document is misleading? That is something I have not heard the working group say.

I do think the document needs editorial changes to keep from misleading readers. I have no technical objections to the informational content of the document, and I'm in full support of its publication as an Informational RFC. It's the editorial content of the document to which I'm objecting.

Keep talking...?

Please review my messages on 2007-03-12 and 2007-03-13 and the thread of related discussion.

I don't have anything to add to those remarks at this time. I apologize for not providing these comments at an earlier date, but I have only recently joined the working group. I raised the issues as soon as they came to my attention.
