Material comments:
- Section 3: RFC 5378 expected the date on which 5378 was effective to
be set by the Trust (section 2.1), and explicitly did not want to cast
into RFC stone the procedure by which the changeover date was determined.
- I disagree with the decision to allow *all* of a submission, including
new text, to be 3978-boilerplated. As I've said before, my preferred
resolution mechanism is to have a mechanism available (probably
front-page disclaimer + details in the Contributors section) for listing
pre-5378 sources from which material was copied without 5378 permission
being granted by the authors.
I believe the continued production of material that is licensed under
3978 only will be long-term harmful to the state of the IETF's IPR
confusion.

Hi.
I've just reposted this draft as
draft-klensin-rfc5378var-01.txt. I didn't removing the material
I indicated I was going to remove because this version follows
too quickly on the previous one.
There are only two sets of changes, but the first seemed
sufficiently important to be worth a quick update:
(1) Alfred Hoenes caught several places in which I had
transposed digits or otherwise fouled up RFC numbers to which I
was making reference. This type of work is sufficiently
confusing without that sort of stupid problem, for which I
apologize -- I thought I had proofread it carefully enough but
obviously did not. They have been fixed.
(2) I realized that it was necessary for completeness to
un-obsolete 3948 and 4748 if they were going to be referenced,
or material from them picked up and copied into, documents, so I
have inserted a paragraph to take care of that.
Anyone who has successful read the -00 version and understood it
can safely ignore this one. Anyone who has not yet read -00, or
who tried to read it and was confused by the numbering errors,
may find this version more helpful.
Comments are, of course, welcome on either one.
