Dear Authors of RFC3761bis
I briefly went through the I-D and can provide you with the following
feedback:
* Add "Obsoletes RFC 3761" to the header of the I-D
* ABNF
You have extended the ABNF for type and subtype by a dash "-" character.
type = 1*32(ALPHA / DIGIT / "-")
subtype = 1*32(ALPHA / DIGIT / "-")
I guess the intension was to allow the "X-", which was somewhat
inconsistent in RFC 3761.
Do you intend to allow "-" everywhere in the Type and Subtype strings?
I'd rather restrict it to "-" only as the 2nd character and only if the
prefix containing a "-" as 2nd charater is defined/described in an RFC.
This could be reached by:
- Write some text to permit "-" only as 2nd character, and/or
- Restrict this in the ABNF such as
[sub]type = ALPHA (ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" ) 1*30 ( ALPHA / DIGIT )
Note: This proposal would also disallow a digit as the 1st character.
What do you think about?
cheers,
Bernie
