Document: draft-ietf-appswg-xdash-03
Title: Deprecating Use of the "X-" Prefix in Application Protocols
Reviewer: William J. Mills
Review Date: March 6th, 2012
IETF Last Call Date: unknown
IESG Telechat Date: unknown

Summary: This draft is generally ready for publication, there are some small issues that might be worth adjusting.

Major Issues: 


Minor Issues: 

Section 4.5 through 4.7:  I would change '"X-" prefix' to '"X-" or similar prefix'

Nits: 

Appendix B, numeral 1 and 3, second sentence:  I would strike "However, " and start the sentences  "In this case..."

-    This draft uses the "$statement. However, $argument_against" construction a lot, and I find that somewhat clunky.  However, I doubt it's worth fixing.


-    The references are populated primarily with things from the appendices.  It would make more sense to me if references came last, but I think that breaks the standard format rules.
