Folks, I'd like to submit a few remarks on draft-klensin-ftp-registry-01. First of all: I appreciate this effort. There indeed are a couple of specifications in the IETF pipeline essentially awaiting the implementation of such registry, and the welth of published and upcoming specifications deserves such repository. (1) Registry content John already has consented that the draft should better distinguish between FTP _features_ and FTP _commands_. It needs to be worked out whether the prospective "FTP Parameters" registry (as I would denote it) should contain a) - a sub-registry of all defined feature names listing the defining document(s), and - a sub-registry of *all* commands listing the related feature(s) (if any, else <STD>) and the defining document(s). or b) - a combined, hierarchical registry of feature names and related commands (compare the RSVP message objects registry). Opinions? (2) Provisional registrations? Another 'political' question is related to the practicability of registrations-on-RFC-publication. IANA reportedly now has implemented procedures (and recommending them) to allow 'provisional registrations' under a timeout regime (to be deleted after a specified interval unless the registration document [if needed] has been approved for publication), to further rapid interoperable experimental implementations and avoid procedural blocks. Should this registry make use of this possibility? (3) Consistency The text in the newly added section 2.3 does not match the IANA considerations, which still require "RFC required". Notwithstanding the '[[anchor8]]' there, it would be useful to have congruent text in the draft. (4) Section 2.4 << John: I promise to spend cycles for harvesting RFCs, ASAP. >> Kind regards, Alfred Hönes. -- +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | TR-Sys Alfred Hoenes | Alfred Hoenes Dipl.-Math., Dipl.-Phys. | | Gerlinger Strasse 12 | Phone: (+49)7156/9635-0, Fax: -18 | | D-71254 Ditzingen | E-Mail: ah@TR-Sys.de | +------------------------+--------------------------------------------+
