For the most part, I agreed with Henrik’s suggestions regarding the vocabulary in his implementation notes. Specific points where I did not I’ve noted below.[1] I do not intend to hold up implementation for the final publication of 7991bis.

Those are either fixed in 2.24.0 and being tested or are expected to be fixed this week in 2.24.1 (and then will be tested).

Yes.

Please document the current pattern then (incl for April 1st RFCs).

Please.

FWIW, I agree with Henrik's summary for this point.


Also...

Hm, what about the 44 open issues at
<https://github.com/rfc-format/draft-iab-xml2rfc-v3-bis/issues>?

Also, will there be any discussion about the changes proposed and
implemented by Henrik? If I, as an implementer, see problems with the
changes, where can I provide feedback and actually get a discussion?

And is there an actual plan for work on 7991bis???

Best regards, Julian
