Hi Dmitry, James, and Scott,

Thanks for the effort put into this specification.

Please find some very few comments:

# Not a new behavior: Either cite the text as a quote or remove the normative
language

CURRENT:
   As described in [RFC5733], the email address associated
   with the base contact object MUST be an ASCII-only address.

# Smells like a specification by examples

CURRENT:
   XML is case sensitive.  Unless stated otherwise, XML specifications
   and examples provided in this document MUST be interpreted in the
   character case presented in order to develop a conforming
   implementation.

Why insisting on the examples needed here? Shouldn’t compliance be based in the
first sentence?

# Check normative language use

CURRENT:
   In examples, "C:" represents lines sent by a protocol client and "S:"
   represents lines returned by a protocol server.  Indentation and
   white space in the examples are provided only to illustrate element
   relationships and are not REQUIRED in the protocol.

This is misleading as this is about “not required”. Not sure I would use the
normative language at the first place. I see that 5733 has an a similar
instance of “not a REQUIRED feature of this protocol”, though.

# Capability negotiation

CURRENT:
   If both client and server have indicated support for SMTPUTF8
   addresses during session establishment, they MUST be able to process
   an SMTPUTF8 address in any extended contact object during the
   established EPP session.

Is the negotiation controllable by configuration on a client/server that
support the extension must always advertise/negotiate it?

Cheers,
Med
