Gentlemen,
I recently sent you a message with the following introduction:
"I was alerted early this year that IANA had questioned why there wasn't an
IANA section in the IPP/1.1 Encoding & Transport draft. The original reason
was that all the relevant text on IANA registrations was defined in the
IPP/1.1 Model & Semantics draft. However, we decided to add an IANA section
in the IPP/1.1 Encoding & Transport draft and also decided to improve a bit
on the IANA section in the IPP/1.1 Model & Semantics document to make sure
that we had a complete and watertight description. In essence, the rules now
state that there are certain code ranges reserved for future standards track
extensions. In some cases there are also code ranges for vendor extensions.
Both kinds need to be registered by IANA. For completeness, we also added a
new section on I18N in the IPP/1.1 Encoding & Transport draft, which
basically references back to the IPP/1.1 Model & Semantics draft, where
these details are described.
While updating the IPP/1.1 Model & Semantics draft (sections 6 and 11), we
also folded in the revised version of Appendix C, which was earlier sent to
the IESG as a separate draft (draft-ietf-ipp-media-engineering-00.txt)
asking it to replace the old Appendix C before publishing as RFC. A few
minor editorial fixes were also made, but absolutely no changes were made to
the technical content, which would cause a new technical review of the
drafts. It is our hope that these revisions will help IESG and IANA in the
continued review process."
It turned out that the drafts I pointed you to last time had some ASCII
formatting errors, in particular missing page breaks, so the editors have
produced new versions to use instead. Sorry for any extra trouble this
may cause you in keeping track of things.
Here are the revised details:
Replacing <draft-ietf-ipp-protocol-v11-03.txt and -04.text> is:
Title : Internet Printing Protocol/1.1: Encoding and
Transport
Author(s) : R. Herriot, S. Butler, P. Moore, R. Turner, J.
Wenn
Filename : draft-ietf-ipp-protocol-v11-05.txt

<draft-ietf-ipp-media-engineering-00.txt> is:

Hope to hear some news about these drafts soon considering that a number of
IPP/1.1 implementations are already under way, and one company has already
released products. The latter company did not want to go out with an
"experimental" IPP/1.0 product, so have waited since last summer for the
real IPP standards track RFCs to come out. Apparently they gave up waiting.
