Please post discussion of this issue to the mailing list over the next two weeks ending May 18, 2004. In order to accept this issued, we will need a strong WG consensus given that this is very late in the process. Please see http://www.drizzle.org/~aboba/ZEROCONF/issues.html for a list of current issues and their status. [LL54] Description of Issue: Consistent terminology for out of scope Submitter Name: Stuart Cheshire Submitter Email Address: [email protected] Date first submitted: 04 May 04 Reference: Comment Type ['t'ech|'e'dit]: e Prio ['S' Must|1 should|2 may]: 1 Section: 1.3, 2.2.1 Rationale/Explanation: Lengthy Description: Page 5 says: > Link-layer technologies that do not support ARP may be able to use > other techniques for determining whether a particular IP address is > currently in use. However, the application of claim-and-defend > mechanisms to such networks is outside the scope of this document. Page 10/11 say: > On a link-layer such as IEEE 802 that supports ARP, conflict > detection is done using ARP probes. On link-layer technologies that > do not support ARP other techniques may be available for determining > whether a particular IPv4 address is currently in use. However, the > application of claim-and-defend mechanisms to such networks is left > to a future document. Lets be consistent. Can we pick one phrase? Either "outside the scope of this document" or "left to a future document". Requested Change: Use consistent terminology: 'out of scope' in each case.
