Upcoming changes in protocol draft

2004-08-09 14:53:38

Friends -

Here is a partial list of changes that I've made for draft-ietf-marid-protocol-01:

 Major Changes
  * Adjusted domain-spec and macro-string ABNF to remove ambiguity
about slash and percent characters, and the ambiguity with domain names
  * Specified handling of DNS server errors during mechanism evaluation
  * Changed recommendation to keeping name and record combined length
less than 460 characters to keep with the DNS UDP limit of 512 octets

  Descriptive Changes
  * Changed the title to:
    "The Sender-ID Record: Format and Interpretation"
  * Added a statement about URLs to the Security Considerations,
    and additional information in the exp= modifier
  * Added a statement about publishing of wildcard records
  * Added a statement about location of records
  * Clarified discussion of expansions for exp modifier
  * Clarified discussion of splitting on delimiters in macro expansion
  * Clarified definition of SoftFail
  * Reformatted the table describing "include" processing results

  Minor Changes
  * Reformatted using xml2rfc.  This resulted in several changes:
    - boilerplate text and formatting improved
    - some slight changes in the ascii artwork
    - minor formatting changes
  * Spelling fixes and minor grammar fixes

In addition, I'm still working on these changes:

  * Change the version string, add a minor version number field
  * Add a statement about new mechanisms
  * Add information from DNS-EXT folks
  * Add IANA info to request new RR type

I expect all of this to be done and submitted to the draft editor by end of day Friday.
