COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I appreciate your work on this topic. I do have one question I’d like answered:

RFC 3261 is updated by a long list of other RFCs. In the course of developing
this spec, did you consider, for each of those, whether it should be listed as
a normative reference?  My guess is that the answer is “yes”, since §5 makes it
appear some careful consideration was given to this question and several of the
RFCs that update 3261 are listed in that section. Still, I’d be more
comfortable if you’d confirm.

(Another way to think of this is, for all the RFCs that update 3261 and are NOT
already referenced by your spec, are you confident they don’t need to be
referenced?)
