Greetings,

While reviewing this cluster of documents*, please review the questions 
below regarding consistency across the cluster. These questions are in addition 
to the document-specific questions sent for each RFC-to-be. 

Your reply will likely impact two or more of the documents in the cluster, so 
please discuss off-list as necessary and then let us know how to proceed. 

* Cluster 508 (C508) currently in AUTH48 state:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9621.html 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9622.html 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/rfc9623.html
(In addition, the .pdf, .txt, .xml, and diff files are available.)

You may track the progress of all documents in this cluster through AUTH48 at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/auth48/C508

1) The following terms were used inconsistently in this group of documents.
We chose to use the latter forms and have already incorporated these changes 
(we raise them here simply for awareness).  Please let us know any objections.

 Connection properties (1 instance) / Connection Properties (>70 instances)

 Pre-Establishment Phase (1 instance in text) / pre-establishment phase (6 
instances in text) 
      Note - we also closed this compound per the dictionary use.

 protocol stack(s) (7 instances) / Protocol Stack(s) (~130 instances)

 remote Endpoint Identifier (1 instance) / Remote Endpoint Identifier (~21 
instances) 

 selection properties (1 instance) / Selection Properties (~47 instances,
   along with ~26 instances of "Selection Property") 

 sockets API (1 instance) / socket API (1 instance) / Socket API (14 instances)

 transport services (4 instances) / Transport Services (>300 instances) 

 Transport Services Architecture (1 instance in text) / Transport Services 
architecture (8 instances in text)

 Transport Services implementation (5 instances) /
   Transport Services Implementation (~70 instances) 


2) The following term appears to be hyphenated inconsistently in this group of 
documents.  
Please let us know if/how these uses may be made consistent.  
Notes: 
a.) the hyphenated compound is more prevalent in published RFCs and 
b.) the closed compound is used in a proper noun in RFC-to-be 9622.

 multi-stream / multistream
   
3) We see that draft-ietf-taps-interface uses the unquoted form Interface 
Instance
or Type (enclosed in <tt> in the XML file), but draft-ietf-taps-impl
uses the quoted form "Interface Instance or Type".  Which style is
preferred?


4) Please verify that the capitalization of terms appears as desired for the 
cluster.  

NOTE: Due to the large number of terms as well as the nature of their use, we 
suggest that 
authors make any edits directly to the XML files (instead of via email) for 
ease of use and 
to avoid any possible confusion.  Further, we suggest getting any other 
substantive changes 
made to the documents prior to implementing these updates for ease of review in 
diff files 
(this is likely directed mostly toward RFC 9623 at this point).

A list of these terms has been posted here: 

https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/clusterC508caps.txt 

Notes about the list:

-we have grouped the list according to topic instead of alphanumerically to aid 
in showing 
possible discrepancies.

-we have marked the terms with ā€œcā€ that we have already identified as likely 
impacting more 
than one document in the cluster (this may not be exhaustive).  Note also that 
the list may 
include terms we made consistent in our question 1 above (for completeness). 

-we have included some comments and questions in the list itself.  Please 
review.

At a minimum, we suggest making identifiable patterns consistent throughout 
the document set with regard to capitalization (of both the name itself and the 
label).  

For example:

properties:
   examples: 
        preferred properties vs. Preferred properties
        Protocol Selection Property vs. interface Selection Property
        Message Properties vs. Message Contexts vs. Message Context Property

actions:
   example: termination action vs. Abort action

objects:
   example: Listener object vs. ErrorCode Object

events:
   example: receive event vs. Receive event (vs. Received event)
        Note - events have been made consistent with regard to the use of <> in 
RFC-to-be 9622.

5) We have already sent some document-specific queries related to the use of 
<tt>.  For your convenience, we have also created a cluster-wide list that is 
sorted alphanumerically and marked by RFC number: 

https://www.rfc-editor.org/authors/clusterC508tt.txt

Please verify that the use of <tt> appears as desired both within the documents 
and across the cluster.  Again, any desired updates are best communicated 
through updates to the XML file itself.

Thank you.
