Document: draft-ietf-mediaman-haptics-??
Reviewer: Mallory Knodel
Review Date: 2023-09-11
IETF LC End Date: 2023-09-11
IESG Telechat date: Not scheduled for a telechat

Summary: The document aims to register a new media type for 'haptics' by making
the case for why it is needed and doesn't currently fit under existing media
types, as well as provide the relevant information in order to register the new
media type 'haptics' with IANA.

Major issues: Technically, none. Suggest some harmony with the in-progress
[TOPLEVEL] reference (I-D to determine how registration be done for new media
types) to ensure this draft follows that guidance, which is presumably being
developed, in parallel, with community consensus.

Minor issues: This should not stand in the way of progressing the draft and
would be subject to the judgement of the WG chairs, but perhaps much of the
Section 2 background could be moved to an annex as it may be out of date in the
future. This would also allow the IANA registration details, which are
ultimately the most important matter of this text, to appear sooner in the
draft. The background details offer important context, but for the purposes of
registration may not be needed, ie according to [TOPLEVEL] guidance.

Nits/editorial comments: The higher level focus of my review did not reveal any
editorial nits.
