    I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's
    ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the
    IESG.  These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the
    security area directors.  Document editors and WG chairs should treat
    these comments just like any other last call comments.
    
    The summary of the review is Ready with nits.
    
    Section 2.1 says "The server MUST have the Allocation Token for each 
    object to match against the Allocation Token passed by the client to 
    authorize the allocation of the object." Does it make sense for a server 
    to have salted+hashed tokens instead of the tokens themselves? Or to 
    otherwise cryptographically verify tokens without storing the tokens?
    
JG - That sentence was modified based on the feedback from Adam Roach to change the MUST to a MAY, since draft-ietf-regext-allocation-token does not predefine the makeup of the allocation token (e.g., pre-generated or not).  There are many approaches that may be taken with the generation and validation of the allocation token, where draft-ietf-regext-allocation-token provides the conduit to pass them over EPP.  

    I think there's a typo in section 7, bullet 6, and I'm not sure what the 
    intent of that sentence is.
 
JG - Adam Roach also caught this.  The first "should" needs to be changed to a "that", so it reads " An Allocation Token that is signed XML should be encoded (e.g., base64 [RFC4648]) to mitigate server validation issues".  This correction will be reflected in draft-ietf-regext-allocation-token-10.
