Re: [Slim] Negotiation issue in draft-ietf-slim-negotiating-human-language

[Gunnar Hellström <[e-mail]>]

I agree with Randall. No more normative or descriptive language is 
needed. There is already a warning against providing language 
indications that will be hard to match. That will happen if you decide 
to answer with a language that was not in the offer. But it is better 
than answering with no language indication and it indicates how you 
might answer the call.

There is however one small adjustment to do. The sentence about having 
the languages in preference order in the lists should be included also 
in the paragraph about the answer in 5.2.  Or it could be pulled out 
from the paragraph about the offer and put in a common paragraph below 
both paragraphs about the offer and the answer. And the lists should be 
in plural in the sentence.
Here the sentence is attached last in the paragraph about the answer:
-----------------------------5.2 paragraph about the answer, with new 
sentence attached last------------------------------------------

  In an answer, 'hlang-send' is a list of one or more languages the answerer might send if
    using the media for language (which in most cases contains one or more of the
    languages in the offer's 'hlang-recv'), and 'hlang-recv' is a list of one or more of the
    languages the answerer is prepared to receive if using the media for
    language (which in most cases contains one or more of the languages in the offer's
    'hlang-send'). The lists of languages are in preference order (first is most
    preferred).
