I have been selected as the Applications Area Directorate reviewer for this draft (for background on appsdir, please see http://trac.tools.ietf.org/area/app/trac/wiki/ApplicationsAreaDirectorate). Please resolve these comments along with any other Last Call comments you may receive. Please wait for direction from your document shepherd or AD before posting a new version of the draft. Document: draft-ietf-6man-uri-zoneid-05 Title: IPv6 Zone Identifiers in Address Literals and Uniform Resource Identifiers Reviewer: Yves Lafon Review Date: 26 November 2012 IETF Last Call Date: 2012-11-23 Summary: The document is almost ready to progress, but some clarifications are needed on two points explicited below. In section 3: << This document implies that all browsers should recognise a ZoneID preceded by an escaped "%". In the spirit of "be liberal with what you accept", we also recommend that URI parsers accept bare "%" signs (i.e., a "%" not followed by two valid hexadecimal characters). This makes it easy for a user to copy and paste a string such as "fe80::a%en1" from the output of a "ping" command and have it work. >> Does it mean that such URIs can be present in an HTML document or that they MAY allow bare "%" signs when the URI is pasted in the address bar? (Those are two different use cases, and browsers may have different code paths for both). In section 4: It says << An HTTP server or proxy MUST ignore any ZoneID attached to an incoming URI, as it only has local significance at the sending host. >> A proxy can be considered as a sending host, so does it mean that a the receiving end MUST strip all ZoneID before processing the request? (and it would be a significant change to implementations), or could this be resolved by mandating Web browser to strip ZoneID prior to sending the request as it is only significant for the sending host and as it is the implementation that needs to be updated to recognize the new syntax? -- Baroula que barouleras, au tiéu toujou t'entourneras. ~~Yves
