Hi Gary,

This didn't get much discussion when you sent the initial e-mail, but I see you've been making steady progress on the draft.

Have you considered taking it to DISPATCH? That's probably the most effective way to determine where this could live in the IETF. Having a definitive home for it would help to assure that it incorporates input across the community and reflects consensus.

See:
  https://trac.ietf.org/trac/dispatch/wiki

Cheers,

The current draft is (draft-koster-rep).  If you get a chance, we'd appreciate your confirming that it matches your understanding of current practice and that the specification is clear even for edge cases.  You can send mail to me to forward on to the author team or address it to the emails listed in the draft.
