Document:
draft-hautakorpi-sipping-uri-list-handling-refused-03.txt
Reviewer: 		Eric Gray
Review Date:  	4/29/2008
IETF LC End Date:	4/29/2008 

Summary: This draft may be nearly ready for publishing as an RFC -
	   either Informational or Proposed Standard (depending on 
	   the answer to one of my 2 questions)

Comments: I have 2 questions:

1) Why is this intended to be published as an Informational RFC?

   This does not report message formats, code point assignments,
   protocol (extended) behaviors defined elsewhere - it defines
   them here.  The very first sentence in the abstract starts -
   "This document specifies the ..." Hence it seems to me that
   this document is a specification and should probably be a PS
   RFC.

2) What is the deployment scenario envisioned that has a security
   exposure to Eavesdropping and/or Disclosure that does not have
   similar exposures to other forms of attack (e.g. - MitM)?

   The security considerations section says "attackers are not 
   supposed to have access to the protocol messages between those 
   [trusted] elements [that would handle message containing the 
   P-Refused-URI-List P-Header]."  Presumably an attacker would 
   need to have such access if it was in a position to eavesdrop
   on the contents of a 403 (Forbidden) response.

Otherwise, the draft is in very good shape.
