Dear Sarah, dear RFC Editor,

Just checking whether the authors, the AD (or the IANA) have still some pending 
actions before the publication of these two RFCs ?

Regards

After conferring with Ted, I made my final edits today, adding the trailing dot 
on all fully qualified domain names.

Both updated XML files are attached.

I made most of the edits you suggested, and for the changes I did not make, 
answers to your questions are inline below.

Actually, this would be the opposite of what we mean. What we mean to say is 
that, “it SHOULD NOT append or increment a number at the end of the name and 
try again in an infinite loop.”

I changed the text to this:

                    it should not append or increment a number at the
                    end of the name and then try again, since this
                    would be likely to result in an infinite loop.

Ted’s comment in the XML:

      The working group worked very hard on the text and
      the organization and structure of the bullets here,
      and this change completely goes against that
      consensus, so I am reverting it. I don't mean to
      suggest that there was no point to this change, but it
      was really hard to get agreement on this precise way
      of formatting the text, and I do not want to repeat
      that process. I actually tried to replicate some of
      your changes, and wasn't sure if I was changing the
      meaning of the text, so I've only retained your
      capitalization changes. Please think of this text as
      more like computer code than human language, if that helps.

Ted’s comment in the XML:

      These are actually two different quantities,
      but I agree with the correction generally,
      so have used M for the last paragraph.

I have corrected all to end with a final dot, as required by the formal DNS 
convention.

I hope we are really finished with this. The documents have been carefully 
proofread and reviewed. Of course, we do value your input (others will confirm 
that I am sincere in saying this -- I often praise the role of the RFC Editor’s 
office in producing IETF documents that are consistently higher quality than 
other standards bodies). If you do see any changes necessary to correct 
punctuation, typos, and other small things we will happily review those, but I 
do hope we can see light at the end of the tunnel now.
