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 ?

Both updated XML files are attached.

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. > C) We noticed this update was not included in the new version.

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. > D) In Section 5.1, "'n'" was updated to "M". Please confirm that this is > correct. 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. > E) "default.service.arpa” appears with and without a period after "arpa". > Please review and let us know if these should be consistent. We note that > IANA has registered this as follows (see > https://www.iana.org/assignments/locally-served-dns-zones/locally-served-dns-zones.xhtml#service-arpa-subdomain): > default.service.arpa. Default domain for SRP updates [RFC-ietf-dnssd-srp-25] > > "default.service.arpa" > "service.arpa." > "default.service.arpa.” 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.
