I think this should be changed to "unsignedLong". (integer is only > 32-bit in XSD). In XSD, positiveInteger is unbounded at the maximum (bounded to 1 at the minimum). You're thinking of unsignedInt. > - "The client MUST generate a large, random, positive integer for the initial > 'rid'": What is large? Is there a minimum? And should be "positive long". Exactly what constitutes a large random value is left for clients to figure out. I don't know that we could reach consensus on what a suitable minimum is. > - The from attribute.

That seems like a reasonable request to me, but we might need more feedback from implementers before changing that MAY to a MUST (or even just a SHOULD). For a real BOSH connection manager, it ought to be known immediately; for a BOSH-as-proxy, though ... maybe the horribly implemented ones need the MAY. > - The sentence "The client SHOULD NOT open more than two HTTP connections to > the connection manager at the same time" confused me, because the document > also said the number is defined by the "requests" attribute. But this > sentence is now gone in 1.11. (I think this revised section is my fault) That section did not feel like a normative section to me (more like an extended intro), and so I tried make it more of a play-by-play of what a BOSH session conceptually looks like. That meant (to me) removing RFC 2119-style normative language. > > > In the 1.11 version I don't really understand the diagram under point 4.

This was an attempt to illustrate how BOSH utilizes "one sometimes two" sockets for all BOSH traffic. "X" indicates when an HTTP request is transmitted from the client to the server. "*" indicates when the corresponding HTTP response is transmitted from the server to the client. "| |" indicate the time a server leaves a request pending (at most "wait" seconds). "|" indicates an idle (but still open) socket connection between the client and server. I can see about converting the above into a legend suitable to patch into the document, but I don't know when I can do that yet. Hope this helps. - m&m Matthew A.
