[auth48] Re: [EXTERNAL] AUTH48: RFC-to-be 9943 <draft-ietf-scitt-architecture-22> for your review

[Antoine Delignat-Lavaud <[e-mail]>]

Dear Megan,

Please find attached our latest corrections for 9943. We have checked with author-tools that this compiles without error.

These corrections should address all remaining open editorial comments and also includes a few editorial corrections we found while reviewing the editor changes. The corresponding problems in 9942 have also been addressed in a separate update I sent on the AUTH48 thread.

Best,
Antoine

Hi Antoine,

Unfortunately, we are unable to create outputs with the XML provided (you can use authors-tools.ietf.org to see the error warnings if you like).

Mostly the errors seem to be due to the use of the aasvg —stretch flag, which places the invalid attributes textLength and lengthAdjust in the SVG.

If you could update and resubmit to us, we’d appreciate it.

Thank you.
