Re: [DNSOP] RFC 2845bis draft

["Peter J. Philipp" <[e-mail]>]

Hi again,

Well I ended up fixing it myself yesterday through a lot of trial and 
error and finally understanding the

RFC.  I recommend the following change to make it easier for future 
implementors in the 2845bis draft:

Section 6.4 says:

The first envelope is processed as a standard answer, and subsequent 
messages have the following digest components:

I would rewrite that as:

The first envelope is processed as a standard answer (see section 6.2), 
and subsequent messages have the following digest components:

With the referal to section 6.2, a hasty eye can catch what a "standard 
answer" is and assumptions are left out.

BTW I'm working with this draft document:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc2845bis/?include_text=1

Best Regards,

-peter
