Re: [tcpm] WGLC: draft-ietf-tcpm-urgent-data-02.txt

["Eddy, Wesley M. (GRC-MS00)[ASRC AEROSPACE CORP]" <[e-mail]>]

I concur with Michael's suggested edits, plus here are some
more comments.  Overall, I think it's in good shape and just
about ready to publish.  A minor update should be all that's
needed, but I do want to make sure that one of the
recommendations is worded correctly (see final comment below).

Editorial:

- section 1, paragraph 3:
  "IT accommodates" -> "it accommodates" ?

- section 1, paragraph 3:
  "using urgent the urgent" -> "using the urgent"

- section 1, paragraph 4:
  "how current TCP implementations" ->
  "how some current TCP implementations"


- section 3.2, paragraph 1:
  "never reflected into" -> "never was reflected in"


Semi-Technical:

- section 2.3 - on the allowed length of urgent data, should this
  mention that obviously there is a limitation due to the length
  of a sequence number field?  You can't send a terabyte of urgent
  data.

- section 6:
  I think it's not worded correctly when we say that applications
  using the sockets API MUST set SO_OOBINLINE.  What we really
  want to say is more like:

  "Even though applications SHOULD NOT employ the urgent mechanism,
   applications that require the use of urgent data MUST set
   SO_OOBINLINE."

  Right?  Apps that don't use urgent data shouldn't have to be
  bothered by the fact that it's broken.
