RE : Gen-ART review of draft-evain-ebu-urn-01.txt

David,
 
I shall apply soon for a new ID in a revised document, which I think
responds to your comments using the following syntax
urn:ebu-{category}:{string} to replace urn:ebu:{category}:{string} also
prohibiting the use of : in string...
 
As concerns the boiler plate error, I have reintroduced the "disclaimer"
head of section as in section 5.5 of RFC 3978. Please note that RFC 4748
uses a 'full copyright statement' without the 'disclaimer' separator.
 
Thanks for the detailed and helpful review.
 
Regards,
 
Jean-Pierre

        Document: draft-evain-ebu-urn-01.txt
        Reviewer: David L. Black
        Review Date: 15 November 2007
        IETF LC End Date: 10 December 2007
        
        Summary:
        
        This draft is on the right track, but has open issues,
        described in the review.
        
        Comments:
        
        There is one minor open issue, but it does cause syntactic
        ambiguity, and hence needs to be fixed:
        
           Declaration of structure:
        
              URNs assigned by EBU will have the following hierarchical
              structure based on the organisational structure of the EBU
              resources:
        
                 urn:tva:{category}:{string}
        
              where "{category}" and "{string}" are US-ASCII strings that
              conforms to URN Syntax requirements ([RFC2141]).
        
        The issue is that the use of the colon character (":") in
        {category} needs to be prohibited in order to protect the
        colon used as a delimiter between {category} and {string}.  In
        addition, it may also be appropriate to prohibit use of some or
        all additional  <other> characters defined in Section 2.2 of
        RFC 2141 in {category} beyond prohibiting the colon character -
        such a prohibition would apply the same syntax  rules
        rules to {category} as apply to the Namespace ID ("ebu").
        
        Nits:
        
        (1)
        
           Declared registrant of the namespace:
        
              Name:           jean-Pierre Evan
        
        Should "jean" be capitalized?
        Is there an "i" missing in "Evan"?
        
        (2)
        
           Declaration of structure:
        
              URNs assigned by EBU will have the following hierarchical
              structure based on the organisational structure of the EBU
              resources:
        
                 urn:tva:{category}:{string}
        
        "tva" --> "ebu"
        
        (3)
        
        3.  Examples
        
           The following examples are not guaranteed to be real. They are
           presented for pedagogical reasons only.
        
              urn:ebu:metadata:pmeta:2007
              urn:ebu:metadata:cs:EscortCS:2007
              urn:other:anytype:version
        
        The third example ("urn:other:anytype:version") should be removed.
        
        (4)
        
        idnits 2.05.01 found a possible boilerplate problem:
        
          Checking boilerplate required by RFC 3978 and 3979, updated by RFC
        4748:
        
        
------------------------------------------------------------------------
        ----
        
          ** The document seems to lack an RFC 3978 Section 5.5 (updated by
RFC
        4748)
             Disclaimer -- however, there's a paragraph with a matching
        beginning.
             Boilerplate error?
        
        
        Thanks,
