[Simple] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-ietf-simple-chat-17.txt

(As Chair)

This version incorporates some non-trivial changes as a result of the IESG review. There's some new normative language. I think it is likely that there will be one or two more revisions, but I expect them to be pretty minor. That is, I expect the version that the ADs actually approves will be substantially similar to this one.

Please take a look, and verify that the changes do not introduce any new problems. If you have objections please send them to the authors and the list ASAP. I don't plan to call yet another formal WGLC at this point; so if there are no objections the draft will progress when it gets AD approval.

Thanks!

Ben.

> - New Section 4.1 lists all the Policy Attributes of the chat room in a single section.
> - Clarified that congestion can occur due to the chat room application or due to some other application.
> - Clarified that the MSRP switch should learn the recipient's capabilities through the 'accept-wrapped-types' in SDP. Procedures as for what to do if the MSRP switch is aware that a recipient does not support a given media type.
> - Quite a few clarifications around chunked messages. It was clarified when the MSRP switch has to delete the temporarily stored state. Also, how to deal with situations where the connection is broken before the reception of the last chunk.
> - Added a length limit to MSRP nicknames: they must be between 1 and 1023 octets, after UTF-8 encoding.
> - Fixed a bug: the error result code is 425 rather than 423 in the examples.
> - Added more security considerations around the usage of TLS, policies to preserve a nickname once the use logs off, confusable nicknames, rendering of nicknames that contain scripts or code, and anonymity when using TLS with certificates.

> From the authors' perspective, we believe the draft is ready. I will contact the IESG members to verify that the current version satisfies their comments.
