http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-11/msg00037.html

The description below will note comments that resulted in document changes.
Please see the "Revisions" section of each document for pointers to the
specific document sections that were changed as a result of implementing the
changes.  On to the comments in the order they were received...

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-11/msg00038.html
All implemented except for "Adding elements to the domain mapping to support
delegation to hosts that do not or should not need to exist as host objects"
and "make the <msg> element OPTIONAL in the <result> element".  Discussion
around both of these suggestions led in different directions.  Text was
added to the domain mapping document to describe external host handling, and
there were objections to the <msg> element suggestion.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-11/msg00041.html
Fix to the ROID pattern; implemented.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-11/msg00043.html
Adding <authInfo> to the <transfer> query command; implemented.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-12/msg00002.html
Replacement of references to ISO documents where possible; implemented.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-12/msg00012.html
Change to the way internationalized and localized contact postal info is
exchanged; implemented.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-12/msg00014.html
Text fix in <check> command description; implemented.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-12/msg00016.html
Data collection policy changes; implemented.  Poll response format changes;
implemented.  Content length header in TCP transport; implemented.  Contact
transfers related to domain transfers; nothing done as there was no
agreement on there even being an issue.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-12/msg00018.html
External host description and processing requirements; implemented.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-12/msg00030.html
Empty text element processing; implemented.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2001-12/msg00041.html
"type" attribute in <poll> response; not implemented as subsequent
discussion described already-present alternatives.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2002-01/msg00022.html
<authInfo> use with <info> command; compromise implemented.  Security
considerations updated in the domain and contact mappings.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2002-01/msg00036.html
MX record provisioning; taken off-list for later action.  For those who
wanted to follow this, it hasn't gone anywhere yet.

http://www.cafax.se/ietf-provreg/maillist/2002-01/msg00067.html
Notification assertions; implemented.

Other cross-document changes made as a result of proofreading:

Fixed typos, separated references into normative and informative sections,
changes to "must", "may" etc. to avoid confusion with RFC 2119 directives.

Core protocol proofreading fixes:

Fixed a schema error that limited <extension> child elements to a single
extension, and fixed another schema error that limited version numbers to
single digits.

Contact mapping proofreading fixes:

Changed type of email and telephone number types to "token" from
"normalizedString" since these values should never contain certain
acceptable normalizedString characters.

Domain mapping proofreading fixes:

Fixed <info> and <renew> response descriptions to note that the <exDate>
element is (and has been) OPTIONAL per the schema.  Minor text change in
section 2.3 to avoid use of the term "zone" when describing clientHold and
serverHold status.

Host mapping proofreading fixes:

Added text to section 2.5 to reinforce that IP addresses aren't always
required when a host is provisioned for use as a DNS name server.  Updated
IPv6 address references.
