[Dime] rfc4004 errata - status?



Title: rfc4004 errata - status?

Apologies, I'm a newcomer on this list.

In the process of developing a Diameter framework, I've
come across RFC4004. My strategy is to generate code
for encode/decode etc. by copying and pasting from the
spec into a text document, then parsing it and generating
code. As a result, errors in the spec tend to lead to
compilation error.

For RFC4004, I stumbled on the AVPs MIP-MN-HA-SPI
and MIP-HA-to-MN-SPI, which are not defined. They are
mentioned in the grouped AVPs MIP-MN-to-HA-MSA
and MIP-HA-to-MN-MSA respectively.

After some googling, I found that this had been noticed, and
a post by Peter McCann, 3 Jan 2007*, seemed to suggest
that I should simply remove them. Is this a correct assumption?

BTW, while I'm at it, I might as well contribute another one for the
upcoming rfc4004 errata:

Session-ID in the ABNF for AA-Mobile-Node-Request should be
Session-Id. While the names of messages and AVPs are really
of informational nature, they are useful for mapping to structs,
class names, etc., and these will be case-sensitive in many
languages.
