Re: Last Call: draft-mcwalter-langtag-mib (Language TagMIB)toProposed Standard
Hi, I have a little question about style in one place in the McWalter draft; I suggest you replace This in Section 3, paragraph 3; line 2, with 'the language tag defined here,' 'the language tag defined by MIB,' or something similar: In theory, BCP 47 language tags are of unlimited length. This language tag is of limited length. This apparently refers back to the Abstract: Abstract This MIB module defines a textual convention to represent BCP 47 [RFC4646] language tags. But I am concerned about style here because: It's been a while since a textual convention to represent BCP 47 [RFC4646] language tags was referred to-- and thus it's unclear here what This is referring to in section 3. (when I taught I would not let my students refer to anything outside of the text unless it was very obvious; nor would I let them refer to something more than one paragraph back without specifying it exactly again.) Again my comment is about style not about content! Thanks, C. E.

RE: Last Call: draft-mcwalter-langtag-mib (Language Tag MIB) to Proposed Standar
Hi, the document looks o.k. but this is not my area of expertise One question (probably a stupid one, but here goes), What does This language tag refer to? in section 3, Definitions ??: In theory, BCP 47 language tags are of unlimited length. This language tag is of limited length. The analysis of language tag lengths in BCP 47 confirms that this limit will not pose a problem in practice. In particular, this length is greater than the minimum requirements set out in section 4.3.1. --C. E.
