Hello,
A question on the flowing extract:
This memo contains a new numberspace to be managed by IANA, a
registry used to indicate a password preprocessing technique. The
initial layout of this registry SHALL be:
o 0x00 : None
o 0x01 :RFC2759 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2759>
o 0x02 : SASLprep
The Prep field is 8 bits long and all other values are available
through assignment by IANA. IANA is instructed to assign values
based on "Specification Required" (see [RFC5226
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5226>]).
It contains the description of new registry. but it fails to give it the
distinctive definition. Among other, what is the exact name of the
registry? How are the fields named? The sentence "The Prep field is 8
bits long and all other values are available through assignment by
IANA." also makes me confusing. This means that the Prep field is not
assigned by IANA? Finally, 0x00 is Unassigned or Reserved?
Thus, this extract needs more clarification.
How would the following look to you:
"This memo contains a new numberspace to be managed by IANA, the
password preprocessing method (Prep) registry. The initial layout
of this registry SHALL be:
o 0x00 : None (no preprocessing is performed)
o 0x01 : RFC2759
o 0x02 : SASLprep
The Prep field is 8 bits long and all other values are available
through assignment by IANA. IANA is instructed to assign values
based on "Specification Required" (see [RFC5226])."
This looks strangely familiar ;-). From RFC 5931:
The following is the initial layout for the password pre-processing
method registry:
o 0x00 : None
o 0x01 : RFC2759
o 0x02 : SASLprep
The Prep field is 8 bits long, and all other values are available
through assignment by IANA. IANA is instructed to assign values
based on "Specification Required" (see [RFC5226]).
Is there some good reason not to use the IANA Registry already
established
