Previous DISCUSS point:
One point I would like to DISCUSS: I wonder if this document is not already obsolete, now that we have the new FETCH/iPATCH/PATCH methods (draft-ietf-core-etch)? Should we expect an update document for the new mappings?
Don't we need at least a reference to draft-ietf-core-etch, expressing it's not covered?

The point has been discussed, so moving to a COMMENT. I trust the responsible AD to take the right action.

Regards, Benoit

Thanks for handling my DISCUSS points. 

OLD Comments below. I didn't check 'em vs. the latest
draft.

Generally, I'd have been happier if this document went more
towards reducing the attack surface and seemed less keen on
being more flexible. I assume though that the WG considered
that. (Some specific places that occurred to me are noted
below.)

I also agree with Kathleen's discuss.

- 6.1: "free to attempt mapping a single Accept header in a
GET request to multiple CoAP GET requests" - does that
provide a potential way to DoS (e.g. battery depletion)
devices in the constrained network? If so, would a warning be
useful? E.g. to limit the number of times a given media type
is attempted.

- 6.1: What "other forms of access control" do you mean?

- 6.2: This looks like it allows too large an attack surface
and maybe you ought default to denying 

- 6.5: Transcoding bugs galore! Given the history of bugs in
transcoding libraries shouldn't you recommend some caution
here? And are there forms of zipbomb that might cause
problems?

- 8.2: The presentation of the formula is not clear to me.
You say "reduces M_R iff..." but that's not a clear "method
to decide" as promised. 

- 10.3: In practice, what does "other means" mean in "This
recommendation may be relaxed in case the destination network
is believed to be secured by other means." ?
