For ticket 21, the only outstanding issue is who should be the Change Controller in section 10.1, which is the media type registration form. One interpretation of RFC 7303 could be that it should be the World Wide Web Consortium as that stakes out their responsibility given it has a “+xml” suffix. Specifically, section 4.2 reads that when using the suffix, “… the change controller has been changed to be the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)”. An alternative conclusion would be the change controller should be the IESG given this is a Standards Track document. The latter seems more logical to me given the W3C has had no role in this specification, but I am not sure what the purpose of the language in RFC 7303 is intending to serve. Hopefully there is someone we can consult with to seek clarification on this item, but that is the issue at hand.

For ticket 29, Asmus has proposed changing some references to the Unicode specification to remove multiple different ways Unicode properties could be expressed, to have a single canonical long- and short-form way of representing them. I think this is a good idea and Wil seems to have concurred. It needs some new text to be put in the next edition.

For ticket 30, Asmus posted about this to the list just prior to the holiday break. I am not sure I’ve wrapped my head around the pros and cons of adding “valid” as an additional core disposition. I think it would be good to have some discussion about this on the list before making a call on it.

I think that’s it. With some additional feedback and a little work hopefully we can turn around a new draft with no known issues in the coming days.
