Summary:

This draft is almost ready for publication as a Proposed Standard but 
has a few nits that should be fixed before publication.

The Codecs Parameter for "Bucket" Media Types was specified in RFC 
4281.  This draft specifies the Codecs and Profiles Parameters for 
"Bucket" Media Types.  As it is a significant change from RFC 4281, 
it does not fit the requirements specified in RFC 2026 for Draft 
Standard.  Please refer to RFC 5657 for additional information about 
how to advance a protocol to Draft Standard.

Please note that I have not read ISO/IEC 14496-15:2010, a normative 
reference, as it is not freely available.

Major Issues:

None

Minor Issues:

None

Nits:

draft-gellens-mime-bucket-bis-03 obsoletes RFC 4281 but there is no 
mention of that in the Abstract Section or the rest of the document.

In Section 3.1:

   "An element MAY include an octet that must be encoded in order to
    comply with [RFC2045]"

I suggest capitalizing the "must" as key words are capitalized in 
that sentence.

   "Note that, when the [RFC2231] form is used, the percent
    sign, asterisk, and single quote characters have special meaning and
    so must themselves be encoded."

I suggest capitalizing the "must".

In Section 4.2:

   "An element MAY include an octet that must be encoded in order to
    comply with [RFC2045]"

I suggest capitalizing the "must".

   "Note that, when the [RFC2231] form is used,
    the percent sign, asterisk, and single quote characters have special
    meaning and so must themselves be encoded."

I suggest capitalizing the "must".
