How could this affect the readers comprehension? This is not an
editorial issue in as defined at
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata-definitions/
>From the context it is often clear what "abort" or "terminate" means.
An enumeration of the first occurrences in the document:
- "A failure of the handshake or other protocol error triggers the
termination of the connection, optionally preceded by an alert
message (Section 6)."
- "the server MUST abort the handshake with an appropriate alert."
- "MUST abort the handshake with an "unexpected_message" alert."
I suggest rejecting this report.
Kind regards,
Peter
