PGP/MIME: Last-minute editorial nits.

2001-04-09 10:07:32
I'll put the following last-minute changes which have not yet been
discussed or announced here into draft-ietf-openpgp-mime-06.txt:

- Replace OpenPGP Working Group by Network Working Group (Since
  that's what's on RFCs).

- Fix the copyright notes to say Copyright (C) ISOC 2001 (instead of
  2000).

- In section 5 (OpenPGP signed data), paragraph 2, I'd like to
  change the wording like this:
  
   The "micalg" parameter for the "application/pgp-signature" protocol
   MUST contain exactly one hash-symbol of the format
  -"pgp-<hash-symbol>", where <hash-symbol> identifies the Message
  +"pgp-<hash-identifier>", where <hash-identifier> identifies the
   Message Integrity Check (MIC) algorithm used to generate the
   signature. Hash-symbols are constructed from the text names
   registered in [1] or according to the mechanism defined in that
   document by converting

  This is to avoid any confusion which may be caused by the fact
  that, in the old wording, hash-symbol refers to pgp-md5 as well as
  to md5.

John: I hope the last change is within the limits of due process for
things which can be done after Last Call.  Please send me a short
confirmation of that; I'll then finally submit draft-06. ;-)

Thanks,
