(No, _this_ message is _not_ about the substrate issue ;) Stephen, Thanks for your work in producing this draft. In order to clarify the separation between the messages themselves and the BEEP profile more clearly, I suggest that the places where BEEP is mentioned before the current Section 4 are rewritten slightly. Specifically, the changes I would like to see are Section 1: s/The protocol uses [BEEP]/The protocol is profiled for BEEP [BEEP]/ Section 2.3: (See separate posting regarding SRP, but in case that is not well received, at least: s/sTLS means that the BEEP session MUST be "tuned" for server-authenticated TLS/sTLS means server-authenticated TLS/ s/cTLS means that the BEEP session MUST be "tuned" for mutually-authenticated TLS/cTLS means client-authenticated TLS/ s/SRP means that the BEEP session MUST be "tuned" for SASL-SRP;/SRP means SASL-SRP;/ and then move the para about "tuned" BEEP sessions to the BEEP profile section. Section 2.4: Drop 2.4 since it does not make things more secure or efficient but adds confusion (e.g. is there some operational requirement that requires the server to drop the connection after a successful exchange?) Section 3.1: Replace the last two paragraphs with: "Where no specific response message is defined for an operation (e.g. for UploadRequest) then the transport will indicate success or failure. All of the response messages defined here MAY contain a Status string, containing a value intended for human consumption." (The BEEP profile already specifies the mapping to BEEP messages) BR, -- Magnus
