Re: [Geopriv] [geopriv] #39: AD review

Maybe this could help:

This document describes conversions for the following conversions:

version 0 to PIDF-LO
version 1 to PIDF-LO
PIDF-LO to version 1

Conversion to PIDF-LO does not increase uncertainty; conversion from PIDF-LO to version 1 increases uncertainty by less than a factor of 2 in each dimension. However, it is not possible to translate an arbitrary PIDF-LO to version 0 with a bounded increase in uncertainty, thus the conversion to version 0 is not specified.

Alissa picked up the last nit a while back - but it must have been missed :)

Comment:

This document doesn't capture the issues with the version 0 DHCPv4 option
that we discussed in Philadelphia.
(See <http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/71/slides/geopriv-2/geopriv-2.htm>).
It may not need to, since it is not trying to specify using the version 0
DHCPv4 option to return an area covering another area. However, given the
amount of conversation that went into understanding the limitation, some
text explaining it seems warranted. It would also help motivate _why_
there is now a version 1. (That said, there is text in section 1.2 that
could be read to say a version 0 response could cover an arbitrary region
to a desired level of precision - that text should be adjusted to make it
clear that's not what's being claimed).

Nits:

Section 2.4 should call out that it is defining AType values.
In this section (and elsewhere in the document), the older "AT"
tag in the prose should be changed to use the "AType" tag in the new
format layout.

The last equation in section 2.4.5 has x on both sides. I suspect
log2(x) should have been log2(Uncertainty)
