[ section 2.3 ]
* My current understanding is that it's not possible to request a sort by
IP address in general (i.e. without regard to IP address family). Otherwise,
since some IPv6 addresses (admittedly not any within the current 2000::/3
GUA space) might be numerically less then some IPv4 addresses, I think there
would probably need to be some text around relative ordering between IPv4 and
IPv6 addresses regardless of numerical equivalent values.
But again: my reading is that sort can only be by ipV4 or ipV6 (and not just
some generalized "ip" parameter), so this shouldn't be necessary.
[ML] I think sorting by ipv4 or ipv6 is less confusing for consumers and
more easy to implement for producers. Anyway, an RDAP server is free to
provide the "ip" sorting property.

[ section 2.1 ]
* s/value of sort "parameter"/value of the "sort" parameter/ perhaps?
[ML] Yes, absolutely.
[ section 2.4 ]
* I think the cursor value "b2Zmc2V0PTEwMCxsaW1pdD01MAo=" might decode to
'offset=100,limit=50\n' (with a trailing newline). The base64 encoding
without the trailing newline might be 'b2Zmc2V0PTEwMCxsaW1pdD01MA==', but
someone should double-check me on that.
[ML] You're right. I used a quick converter available on the web. I have
just executed the conversion by the Base64 Java class methods and the
correct encoding is "b2Zmc2V0PTEwMCxsaW1pdD01MA==".
Best,
Mario
