Hi Lisa, > I appended your re-correction of the corrected text, rather than > replace, since you were not the reporter, introduced by "Julian Elie > suggests the corrected text: ".

Buy is it a reason for not having errata of quality? Well, if it is what you want, I can do nothing more. I'm not going to argue more on that subject on which I have already spent far too much time. I will only say that: * the erratum mentions that I "suggest the corrected text", which is wro= ng because it is not my suggestion (the formatting I provided was better)= ; * the erratum is inconsistent; * the process is inconsistent (no append for erratum 1787 for instance); * my first name has been mispelled in the edited text: it is Julien, and not Julian. But well, after all, I don't mind. I just wanted to give some help and review to have proper errata on rfc-editor.org but it appears that it is not what people expect from rfc-editor.org; so be it that way. I thought that people reading errata would be more pleased to have detailed, complete information of good quality about an erratum. Anyway, thanks for your work on RFCs and errata. I know you are also writing RFCs (I already read your PATCH method and your guidance about draft standards). That's great work, and it requires time and energy. I also understand that editing errata can be exhausting and is not quite fun. All the best for the future, --=20 Julien =C9LIE =AB Ex nihilo nihil. =BB (Perse)
