Re: [Editorial Errata Reported] RFC5804 (6345)

This report is correct that the "110" count in the second example (the
first example cited in the report) is incorrect, and should be 99.

The report's second point is a tricky one.  I think the report is also
correct about that, and here's why:

Section 1.1 says this:

   All interactions transmitted by client and server are in the form of
   lines, that is, strings that end with a CRLF.  The protocol receiver
   of a ManageSieve client or server is either reading a line or reading
   a sequence of octets with a known count followed by a line.

That means that each line of the example implicitly includes "CRLF" at
the end of it, and the count includes the final one of those.  And
then there has to be another CRLF to end the command itself.  In the
first example, that's represented by the empty line, "C:".  The second
and third examples lack that.

I intend to resolve this errata report as "Verified".  Does anyone on
this list think otherwise?
