Hello Wendy, others,

[I'm sorry that I haven't participated in earlier discussions; I made 
several attempts to subscribe to the mailing list, but apparently on 
multiple occasions didn't complete the subscription.]

I fully and wholeheartedly support the intent of the draft. A top-level 
type for fonts should have been created long ago, but it's never too 
late, because of the evidence we have.


> Please review the draft carefully and raise any remaining issues here.

My review is based on the -01 draft, but that and the -02 draft are 
virtually identical (see e.g. 
https://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?difftype=--hwdiff&url2=draft-ietf-justfont-toplevel-02.txt).

In my view, the draft is unfortunately not yet ready to be sent to the 
IESG/IETF, but I think the issues can be fixed quickly.

Technical issues:

- The draft doesn't mention or reference RFC 6838 
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838, Media Type Specifications and 
Registration Procedures) at all, but it should definitely do so; in 
particular, it should reference section 4.2.7.,  Additional Top-Level Types.
(see https://github.com/svgeesus/ietf-justfont/pull/11)

- The start of section 7 introduces @font-face format identifiers. It 
uses the word "defined" for these, but only talks about the types 
defined in the document itself. This raises the following questions:
   - Are registrations of new subtypes supposed to give this
     information, too? If yes, who is responsible to avoid conflicts?
     (we could just ask IANA to check that the identifier doesn't clash
      with that of another subtype)
   - Will a future version of css-fonts-3 reference the IANA registry
     for these values, or how will potential discrepancies be solved?
   - If the information in css-fonts-3 is supposed to be normative, and
     the information in the IANA registry just informative, then
     clearly say so in the draft.

The main editorial problems can be categorized as follows:

- Repeated use of the word "believe", and other wordings that may be 
appropriate at an early draft stage, but will look strange in a 
published document, especially down the road.

- Many very long sentences that could easily be split up into shorter ones.

Because these issues are mostly editorial, I'll try to provide some pull 
requests on Github. I have already made two.

Regards,   Martin.
