Re: New Version Notification for draft-sweet-uri-zoneid-01.txt

mmmmmm

As this I-D says
" A separate,
   incompatible format was defined and published in RFC 6874. "

What it does not say is that RFC6874 has been approved and is on the
Standards Track having passed through all the relevant IETF procedures.
(Nor does it say that you tried to raise this as an erratum, when it
would have been a technical change to that RFC, and so not an erratum!)

My take is that this I-D must not be published as it stands; it can do
nothing but harm to the IETF.  It has to say something about the fact
that it is in contravention of the aforementioned RFC.  Whether that
takes the form of "Updates", applicability statement or what I do not
know; whether it will be possible to achieve consensus on some suitable
form of words, I do not know.
