Re: [Ecrit] draft-ietf-ecrit-local-emergency-rph-namespace-00.txt: Scope (again)






I also agree.  There is quite a lot of text in 4412 about "passing" RPH (without providing any special behavior)  across a network that "doesn't understand" that namespace to/from a network that does understand/provide special behavior to that namespace.  Perhaps that could be stressed a bit more in the text of this ID.  This ID does not need to go into detail about which networks are expected to "understand" and which to "ignore" the namespace.
