[Rfid] SLRRP -> RRCP?

Hi All,

I was talking to Scott Barvick off-line, and I made a comment that is 
probably better shared with the list...

To avoid later pain/confusion, I think it would be preferable to 
change the name of the SLRRP protocol to something that doesn't 
contain "marketing" terms like "Simple" or "Lightweight".  The IESG 
will not generally approve documents that include those words in the 
title or document name, as they are seen as marketing terms, not 
engineering terms.

I recently encountered this issue with an IPDVB WG protocol.  See the 
comments from David Kessens at:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=11634&rfc_flag=0

We were forced to rename the ULE protocol in the final stages, which 
was a bit painful.  Fortunately, we found a reasonable name that 
retained the commonly-used ULE acronym, or it would have been worse.

Given that David is one of the area directors for this effort, I 
doubt that we can slip a protocol past him that claims to be both 
"simple" and "lightweight".

In the interest of avoiding that problem if/when this group becomes a 
WG and wants to publish a SLRRP-inspired protocol, I'd suggest that 
we rename the protocol now, while it will have less impact on the 
effort.

How about "RFID Reader Control Protocol (RRCP)"?  It's not as easily 
pronounced, but it is more descriptive.

Margaret
