Re: Gen-ART Review of draft-newman-i18n-comparator-06.txt


Hi, Arnt,



I apparently forgot to reply back in March. Sorry.

I was thinking about this from the client's perspective (if the collation
doesn't report "error", how does the client know to report anything to
someone who might be able to fix the input?).


There's no point in doing that. Take my home, IMAP. If an IMAP client
tells the server to sort the messages by subject, and one message's
subject contains an illegal ISO-2022-JP sequence, the collation will
return "error" a few times. That's not a bug in the client or server,
it's just another broken mail message. Usually it's spam. Routine.


If you guys are OK here, I'm OK.


No, I'm sorry that I wasn't clearer. I was trying to say that if the
designated expert fumbles the evaluation, perhaps talking to an APPS-area
AD would be sufficient to resolve most appeals, without involving the rest 
of the IESG, unless the APPS-area AD fumbles the first-level appeal.


I made this change.


Likewise (and I noted it when I reviewed -13 - thanks!)
