Note to RFC Editor
In Section 1, change "proposed solutions for comments"
to "proposed solutions".
Change the contents of the IANA considerations section
to the following:
This section provides some guidelines for IANA to consider when
adding references to a CableLabs specification in its registries.
CableLabs maintains current and archived specification repositories.
When a specification is updated, a copy of the previous version is
moved to the archived repository.
There is no stable URL for a particular specification, at least
not before it has been superseded by an updated version
and moved to the archived repository. As a result, IANA
should point to the name of the specification
along with the URLs for both the current and archive
repositories when referencing a CableLabs specification.
The repository URLs depend on the area of specification.
For instance,
o For a DOCSIS or cable modem related specification, the
current specifications repository is at
http://www.cablemodem.com/specifications/ and
archived repository is at
http://www.cablelabs.com/specifications/archives/ ;
o For a PacketCable specification, the current specifications
repository is at http://www.packetcable.com/specifications/
and archived repository is at
http://www.cablelabs.com/specifications/archives/
