The following errata report has been submitted for RFC5952, "A Recommendation for IPv6 Address Text Representation". -------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=5952&eid=4483 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: André Melancia <Andy@Andy.COM.PT> Section: 4.3 Original Text ------------- â Corrected Text -------------- â Notes ----- Errata ID 2656, reported by D. Stussy in 2010-12-02 is CORRECT and perfectly justified. This was however rejected on 2012-05-30. Justification on "verified notes" states "This errata is attempting to overturn the clear consensus of the WG.", which is WRONG, since WG consensus applies to the whole document, not specifically to section 4.3 or its unjustified and arbitrary lowercase conventioning. There is no technical reason why lowercase "must" or "should" be used, instead, HISTORICALLY (which for any IETF work has been the "de facto" rule) uppercase has been used (see full justification in Errata ID 2656 mentioned above). Additionally, and considering that modern devices are able to properly handle case changes without performance losses, the WG should discuss removing this rule altogether. Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG) can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC5952 (draft-ietf-6man-text-addr-representation-07) -------------------------------------- Title : A Recommendation for IPv6 Address Text Representation Publication Date : August 2010 Author(s) : S. Kawamura, M. Kawashima Category : PROPOSED STANDARD Source : IPv6 Maintenance Area : Internet Stream : IETF Verifying Party : IESG
