Re: [bfcpbis] I-D Action: draft-ietf-bfcpbis-bfcp-websocket-08.txt

(As an individual)

Good question. I agree it seems a bit strange. But my thinking is that our use of “Updates” may not be appropriate. I view RFC 4582 and RFC 4583 as defining BFCP over TCP and over UDP. This draft takes BFCP over TCP and defines how to encapsulate it within a WebSocket and how to negotiate that encapsulation. So I think these drafts are related but separate, and that we should remove the “Updates” label and simply have RFC4582bis and RFC4583bis as normative references (as they already are). Thoughts?

Cheers,
Charles
