Harald,

Many thanks for reviewing this draft.

It also instructs IANA to correct some registry problems.

The WG and the editor of the draft that became RFC 3270 do not
share your view of the convoluted wording, and regard this draft
as making a change to the process requirements in RFC 3270.
At a minimum, this draft unambiguously states what is allowed.

I believe your thinking is correct, and I will supply the Area
Director (Lars) with an appropriate RFC Editor Note.

Many thanks to the Gen-ART process and the people who make it
happen, as this draft would have been far less likely to receive
this caliber of IETF Last Call review in Gen-ART's absence.

Thanks,
--David (ips WG chair & shepherd for this draft)
