Carsten,
While reviewing this document during AUTH48, please resolve (as necessary) the
following questions, which are also in the XML file.
1) <!-- [rfced] Currently, the definitions for "t" and "c" are included in the
title of Table 1:
Original:
Table 1: Summary of New Control Operators in this Document,
t = target type (left-hand side), c = controller type (right-hand
side)
We recommend removing these definitions from the title and either 1) adding
them to the text preceding the table or 2) creating a legend below the
table. What do you prefer?
Perhaps (add to text before table):
The present document defines a number of additional generally
applicable control operators. In the table below, "t" is for "target type"
(left-hand side) and "c" is for "controller type" (right-hand side).
Or (add legend after table):
t - target type (left-hand side)
c - controller type (right-hand side)
-->
2) <!-- [rfced] In Table 1, are parentheses needed for the following? The other
fields in this column do not have parentheses.
Original:
(sloppy-tolerant variants of
the above)
Perhaps:
sloppy-tolerant variants of
the above
-->
3) <!-- [rfced] Tables
a) Tables 3, 4, and 6 have three dashes in the Reference column. Would you
like to remove this column altogether as it is empty?
b) Tables 2 and 5 contain a reference in the References column, but they are
different from the reference (i.e., his document) for the same control
operators in Table 7 in the IANA section. Will this cause any issues for
readers? Let us know if any updates are needed.
-->
4) <!-- [rfced] This sentence introduces Table 2 and mentions "representations
defined in [RFC4648]", but the last item in Table 2 is defined in RFC
9285 (not RFC 4648). May we update this sentence to include RFC 9285?
Also, would it be helpful to reorder the sentence to say "this
specification uses the following names" rather than "this specification
uses the representations"?
Original:
Inspired by Section 8 of RFC
8949 [STD94], this specification uses representations defined in
[RFC4648] with the following names:
Perhaps:
Inspired by Section 8 of RFC
8949 [STD94], this specification uses the following names for the
representations defined in [RFC4648] and [RFC9285]:
-->
5) <!-- [rfced] The following sentences include "specification is
opinionated". As a specification cannot be opinionated (a person can),
may we trim this phrasing as shown below? Another option is to revise the
text to mention the author (e.g., "the specification expresses the
author's opinoin...").
Original:
Note that this specification is somewhat opinionated here: It does
not provide base64url, base32 or base32hex encoding with padding, or
base64 classic without padding.
...
Note that the present specification is opinionated again
in not specifying a sloppy variant of base32 or base32/hex, as no
legacy use of sloppy base32(/hex) was known at the time of writing.
...
Again, the specification is opinionated by only providing for integer
numbers and these only represented without leading zeros,
Perhaps (trimmed):
Note that this specification does
not provide base64url, base32 or base32hex encoding with padding, or
base64 classic without padding.
...
Note that the present specification does
not specify a sloppy variant of base32 or base32/hex, as no
legacy use of sloppy base32(/hex) was known at the time of writing.
...

numbers and these only represented without leading zeros,
-->
6) <!-- [rfced] "behind table 1" is unclear. Is the intent to say "after Table
1"?
Original:
The additional designation "sloppy" indicates that the text string is
not validated for any additional bits being zero, in variance to what
is specified in the paragraph behind table 1 in Section 4 of
[RFC4648].
Perhaps:
The additional designation "sloppy" indicates that the text string is
not validated for any additional bits being zero, in variance to what
is specified in the paragraph behind table 1 in Section 4 of
[RFC4648].
-->
7) <!-- [rfced] We do not see the exact term "YANG-JSON" in RFC 7951, though the
document discusses JSON encoding of YANG data. Is this text okay, or
should it be updated?
Original:
The control operator .base10 allows the modeling of text strings that
carry an integer number in decimal form (as a text string with digits
in the usual base-ten positional numeral system), such as in the
uint64/int64 formats of YANG-JSON [RFC7951].
-->
8) <!-- [rfced] We believe "next section" here refers to Section 2.3. May we
update accordingly? Also, we see "conversion" and "hex" in Section 2.3
but not "octal" or "binary". Will this cause any issues for readers?
Original:
See the next section for more flexibility, and for other numeric bases such
as
octal, hexadecimal, or binary conversions.
-->
9) <!-- [rfced] In the first sentence below, should "b64u" be updated to
".b64u"?
And in the second sentence, should "base10" be updated to ".base10"?
Original:
Note that this control operator governs text representations of
integers and should not be confused with the control operators
governing text representations of byte strings (b64u etc.).
...
This
contrast is somewhat reinforced by spelling out "base" in the name
base10 as opposed to those of the byte string operators.
-->
10) <!-- [rfced] Should "printf" in these sentences be updated to either
"Printf"
(capitalized) or ".printf" (prefaced with dot)? Also, in the first
sentence, will "that is given" be clear to readers?
Original:
The construct matches a text string representing the textual output
of an equivalent C-language printf function call that is given the
format string and the data items following it in the array.
...
From the printf specification in the C language, length modifiers
(paragraph 7) are not used and MUST NOT be included in the format
string.
Perhaps:
The construct matches a text string representing the textual output
of an equivalent C-language .printf function call that presents the
format string and the data items following it in the array.
...
From the .printf specification in the C language, length modifiers
(paragraph 7) are not used and MUST NOT be included in the format
string.
-->
11) <!-- [rfced] Would it be helpful to update "From the printf specification in
the C language" as shown below (e.g., change "From" to "Per" and add the
relavent section of [C])? We believe the specific paragraphs mentioned in
this text are from Section 7.21.6.1 of [C]. We can only view the web
archive link provided in the reference entry and that section uses
"fprintf" (rather than "printf").
Original:
From the printf specification in the C language, length modifiers
(paragraph 7) are not used and MUST NOT be included in the format
string. The 's' conversion specifier (paragraph 8) is used to
interpolate a text string in UTF-8 form. The 'c' conversion
specifier (paragraph 8) represents a single Unicode scalar value as a
UTF-8 character. The 'p' and 'n' conversion specifiers (paragraph 8)
are not used and MUST NOT be included in the format string.
Perhaps:
Per Section 7.21.6.1 of the printf specification in the C language [C],
length modifiers

interpolate a text string in UTF-8 form. The "c" conversion
specifier (paragraph 8) represents a single Unicode scalar value as a
UTF-8 character. The "p" and "n" conversion specifiers (paragraph 8)
are not used and MUST NOT be included in the format string.
-->
12) <!-- [rfced] In Section 2.4, would it be helpful to include text
introducing/explaining the sourcecode? This is done with sourcecode in
other sections.
-->
13) <!-- [rfced] Should "for [RFC7464]" be updated to "for JSON text sequences
[RFC7464]" or something similar?
Original:
* A .jsonseq is not provided in this document for [RFC7464], as no
use case for inclusion in CDDL is known at the time of writing;
again, future control operators could address this use case.

[RFC7464], as no
use case for inclusion in CDDL is known at the time of writing;

-->
14) <!-- [rfced] We see that "parsing-regexp" (with hyphen) is used in Section 8
of RFC 9485. Would you like to update "parsing regexp" here accordingly?
Original:
It also can build a parsing regexp (Section 6 of
[RFC9485]; see also Section 8 of [RFC9485] for security
considerations related to regexps) from the elements of the
controller array, with capture groups for each element, and
validate the captures against the elements of the array.
-->
15) <!-- [rfced] To improve readability, we suggest moving the long
parenthetical
to be its own sentence. Let us know your thoughts.

-->
16) <!-- [rfced] FYI - In Section 4, we removed the xref with the relative
attribute. IANA has recommended against use of the registry-specific
URLs; the web portion of the style guide was recently updated to make
this more clear.
-->
17) <!-- [rfced] How may we update "Section 5 of [RFC8610] apply, as well as
those in
Section 12 of [RFC4648]" for clarity?
Original:
The security considerations in Section 5 of [RFC8610] apply, as well
as those in Section 12 of [RFC4648] for the control operators defined
in Section 2.1.
Perhaps:
The security considerations in Section 5 of [RFC8610] apply. In addition,
the security considerations
in Section 12 of [RFC4648] apply for the control operators defined
in Section 2.1.

18) <!-- [rfced] The following reference is withdrawn (see
https://www.iso.org/standard/74528.html), and a new version is available
(see https://www.iso.org/standard/82075.html). Would you like to cite the
updated version? If so, is the web archive link provided in the
annotation element still applicable? If we update to a new version,

19) <!-- [rfced] FYI - We updated the format of the entries under "List of
Figures" and "List of Tables".

20) <!-- [rfced] Terminology
a) We note inconsistencies in the terms below throughout the text. Should
these be uniform? If so, please let us know which form is preferred.
Printf-style formatting vs. Printf-formatting
base32/hex vs. base32(/hex) vs. base32hex
base-ten vs. base10
b) In Table 2, would you like to lowercase "Base*" for consistency with usage
in the rest of the document? Or was the capitalization intentional here?

Style Guide <https://www.rfc-editor.org/styleguide/part2/#inclusive_language>
and let us know if any changes are needed. Updates of this nature typically
result in more precise language, which is helpful for readers.
Note that our script did not flag any words in particular, but this should
still be reviewed as a best practice.
