Re: [Geopriv] -00 Strawman of RFC 3825bis for Review

Hi Bernard,

the only a few comments at this point in time.

I cannot find the person(s) that have brought up the issue, tried to
convince the working group that there is a problem for years and have
submitted documents to explain the issue anywhere in the document (neither
as author(s), contributor(s) nor anything else).

That cannot be right.

I don't see the guys who implemented this specification (based on Martin's
clarifications) listed in the document either. We should acknowledge their
work a bit more ("Remember: Rough consensus and RUNNING CODE") given that
they are the poor folks who had to decipher our mysterious specifications
and very likely spent a lot of time doing so.

Ciao
Hannes

Subject: [Geopriv] -00 Strawman of RFC 3825bis for Review


Starting from the text of RFC 3825, I have produced a strawman -00
draft of RFC 3825bis:

http://www.drizzle.com/~aboba/GEOPRIV/draft-ietf-geopriv-rfc3825bis-00.txt

Comments welcome.

Other than the editorial changes outlined in Appendix B, the basis
of the -00 strawman is RFC 3825, so that no technical differences should
have been introduced. Just to make sure, I have compared the text to RFC
3825 line by line.

The -00 strawman generates no errors or warings when reviewed by
the ID-NITS tool (see below).

On checking the URLs provided in the Reference section, two
questions arose:

a. EPSG. One of the URLs given for the EPSG now resolves to the IHS
site map:

http://www.ihsenergy.com/epsg/geodetic2.html

Does this URL need to be updated, removed or left as is?

b. WGS 84. There is no longer a web site configured at the cited
URL:
http://www.wgs84.com/

Is there an updated URL available?
