After a review by Tony of the comments from the second Last
Call, I've prepared a clean copy of the document for IESG
consideration. It is in the process of being posted. I hope
Tony will post a summary of the changes that have been made (and
not made) but, until he has time to do that, I would encourage
checking the "Change Log" appendix and/or doing a diff against
-08.
The changes are pretty much all fine-tuning or editorial, IMO.
<pseudo-chair hat on>
To see a diff, click on Diff1 or Diff2 links from
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-klensin-rfc2821bis-09
Here are the issues that were raised right around or since last call on
-08 went out and not previously resolved.
Section 2.1, para 6>> There's too many "either"s and other possible
rewrites...
Resolution>> Concur, too many either's, but other rewrites not necessary.
Section 3.1-3>> Issues with wording around "transaction".
Resolution>> Concur, change "transaction" to "mail session".
Section 3.3-8+ and Section 4.1.4-9>> Suggest replacing "If a ... command
appears" with "transaction" and add definition section for transaction.
Resolution>> No, text is adequate as is. Adding a definition section on
"transaction" is possible for 2821ter.
Section 3.5.2-1>> wording about VRFY/EXPN normal responses
Resolution>> Concur with posted suggested clarification
Section 4.1.4-9>> need ref to EHLO as way to abort command
Resolution>> Concur with posted suggested clarification
Section 4.2-5>> Discussion of Greeting response upon connection
Resolution>> add a statement to end of paragraph discussing Greeting
(Other server responses upon connection follow the syntax of
Reply-line.)
Section 4.3.2>> DATA missing E: 503, 554
Resolution>> Concur
Appendix B-2>> bad reference [32]
Resolution>> Corrected here and section 2.3.7.
Appendix D.4>> Why use SEND FROM?
Resolution>> change SEND FROM to MAIL FROM
Other points raised with respect to some minor differences between
2821bis's ABNF and 2822upd's corresponding ABNF should be re-raised
during the last call for 2822upd (coming soon).
