I would be happy to create an example, probably using a real entry
from OCP/HTTP profile.
To refresh your memory, OCP Core, the IANA Considerations section,
says
The IANA maintains a list of OCP features, including
application profiles (Section 10.11). For each feature, its
"uri" parameter value is registered along with the extension
parameters (if any). Registered feature syntax and semantics
are documented using PETDM notation.
Standards-track OCP Core extensions SHOULD use
"http://iana.org/assignments/opes/ocp/"; prefix for feature
"uri" parameters. It is suggested that the IANA populates
resources identified by such "uri" parameters with
corresponding feature registrations. It is also suggested
that the IANA maintains an index of all registered OCP
features at http://iana.org/assignments/opes/ocp/ URL or on a
page linked from that URL.
Here is an example of how IANA could register a "request profile"
feature described in draft-ietf-opes-http-02.txt (the unincorporated
IANA Section of that draft requests such a registration).
First, IANA may put the following text and links to
http://iana.org/assignments/opes/ocp
This is the master index of the IANA-registered features for
OPES Callout Protocol Core standard
[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfcOcpCore.txt]
* HTTP adaptation with OPES features
[http://iana.org/assignments/opes/ocp/http]
Second, IANA may add the following text and links to
http://iana.org/assignments/opes/ocp/http
HTTP adaptation with OPES features standard
[http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfcOcpHttp.txt] defines the following
features:
* "request profile"
[http://iana.org/assignments/opes/ocp/http/request]
* "response profile"
[http://iana.org/assignments/opes/ocp/http/response]
Finally, IANA may add the following text to
http://iana.org/assignments/opes/ocp/http/request
This is a registration page for an OPES Callout Protocol feature
described below.
URI: http://iana.org/assignments/opes/ocp/http/request
Name: request profile
Definition: see Section 3.2 of rfcOcpHttp
The above does not include "up" links and other non-essential
information that IANA may want to add to these pages.
Any improvement suggestions or objections?
Thanks,
Alex.
