Summary: (2nd Last Call and Telechat) Almost ready. The points from
my review of -24 in the first Last Call have all been addressed -
thanks - with the exception of the location of the key definitions
of "session id" and "communication session". The latest version
(-26) refers the reader to RFC 7206 which needs to be a normative
reference but is an Informational RFC, creating a downref. I
cannot see that a requirements document meets the criteria for an
allowable downref as described in Section 2 of RFC 3967.
Reproducing the two definitions in the new draft (and ensuring that
they are accurate for the standards document) seems to be a better
solution IMO.
Major issues:
None
Minor issues:
Downref to RFC 7206 - see above.
Editorial/Nits:
Missing definitions of "session id" and "communication session" -
see above.
