Please also include editorial comments; there will be a -03 anyway
since
the current draft does not yet have an IANA considerations section.
I may be procedurally out-of-touch, but in a recent draft I was
involved in editing that was also aimed at BCP and which was
subject to a lot of IESG scrutiny, I was repeatedly criticised for
including an "IANA Considerations" section which included the
single sentence "This document requires no actions of the IANA".
I was told that if no actions are required, no IANA Considerations
section is necessary.
My memory was faulty -- in fact it was a "Protocol Considerations"
section which contained the single sentence "This document does not
impose any protocol considerations" that was criticised ("This
section does not impose any knowledge. What is it for?").
As was pointed out to me at that time the IANA and Security
Considerations sections are required, but Protocol Considerations are
not.
