Dear Authors and DMARC group,

In my continuing review of errata posted against RFC 7489, my view is that the following erratum should be verified, and I intend to do so in the next month unless given good cause not to do so.  This is a clarification as to which gzip spec should be used.

Section 7.2.1.1 says:

The aggregate data MUST be an XML file that SHOULD be subjected to
GZIP compression.

It should say:

The aggregate data MUST be an XML file that SHOULD be subjected to
GZIP compression (described in [RFC1952]).

Notes:

The term "GZIP compression" is not defined in the text. To clarify, maintain compatibility with future (potentially incompatible) gzip versions, and to bring the document in line with other RFCs (e.g. 3712, 6713, 6968), a reference to RFC 1952 ("GZIP file format specification version 4.3") should be added.

This is assuming RFC 1952 was the author's intent.
