Ned, as you are the Area Director reviewing this spec, we (the co-authors) will defer to your judgement on the need to restart the Last Call period. For obvious reasons, we would rather skip the extra month necessary to do so. I will also note that Section 6.1.2 of RFC 2026 doesn't set any specific guidelines for what level of change does or does not require a restart of Last Call. Given that the suggested change does not affect the normal operation of the protocol (where external parsed entities are supposed to use their own MIME type), and that the issue comes down to how deal with any existing implementations that (could possibly) differ from the new spec, I would suggest that it is not a significant change. We don't actually have any examples from the wild of software or messages that would even be affected by this change. Again, however, we defer to your judgement as to whether any changes to requirements language mandates a Last Call restart. In either event, we'll be submitting the -08 draft tomorrow. - dan -- Dan Kohn <mailto:dan@dankohn.com> <http://www.dankohn.com> <tel:+1-650-327-2600> -----Original Message----- From: ned.freed@INNOSOFT.COM [mailto:ned.freed@INNOSOFT.COM] Sent: Thursday, 2000-09-07 08:56 To: muraw3c@attglobal.net Cc: ietf-xml-mime@imc.org; iesg@ietf.org Subject: RE: Fwd: Last Call: XML Media Types to Proposed Standard > In the IETF-XML-MIME ML, Larry Masinter made proposed to slightly > revise the latest draft (draft-murata-xml-07.txt).

Unfortunately, given that this is a change to requirements language I think we'll have to restart the last call, so the sooner the better on this. Ned
