To answer Ron's questions:

1. The reference [REG] should be added to the References section as:

[REG]
	Holtman, K., Mutz, A. and T. Hardie, "Feature Tag Registration
Procedures", BCP 31, RFC 2506, March 1999.

or the [REG] could be replaced by [RFC2506] in the body of the document and
the following added to the references section instead:

[RFC2506]
	Holtman, K., Mutz, A. and T. Hardie, "Feature Tag Registration
Procedures", BCP 31, RFC 2506, March 1999.


2. The double occurrence of "-" was a typo.  I was trying to include both
"-" (hyphen) and "_" (underline) in the syntax, as we have done for IPP
keywords.  So rather than deleting the second "-", it should be "_".  Then
the ABNF production for size-name would be:

   size-name = lowalpha *( lowalpha | digit | "-" | "_" )

Unless we think it is too confusing to allow both "-" and "_"?

The latest version is now available at:

ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/media-sizes/pwg-media-05.pdf

The major change is the merging of the envelope sizes
with the other tables and the separation of the media
type with the size.  In addition I have added the
definition of a format for custom media types and color
per a request from Norbert.

There are still two open issues that I am waiting for
clarification from Tom.

1. Tom added a reference [REG] in section 3, but no
corresponding entry in the References section.

2. The ABNF for the size name in section 5.1 may be
incorrect.  I am not an ABNF expert, but I believe that
    | "-" | "-" )  should be simply   | "-" )

I will try to attend the IPP teleconference tomorrow
to discuss any other issues concerning this document.
