Summary: Ready with nits.  The XDR specification appears to be a 


superset of the v4.1 XDR specification and combines a correction of the 


five remaining discrepancies between v4.1 and v4.0bis ( definition and 


use of the NFS4_OTHER_SIZE constant, addition and use of the 


ascii_REQUIRED4 type, modification of the typedef of linktext4). The 


additions of the 4.2 interface appears to match the specification in 


draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion2-39 except for two attribute typedef  


items mentioned below.  One discrepancy would have no operational effect 


as the type used in the other draft  is an alias for the type used here 


but the clone_blksize error changes the size of the type.






I have checked that the extracted code is accepted by rpcgen and 


generates files as expected.




Major issues:
None

Minor issues:
None

Nits/editorial comments:


Observation:  It might be useful to note that this XDR specification is 


fully upwards compatible with the v4.0bis with the minor exception of 


the clientaddr4 structure which has been replaced by (strictly, aliased 


to) netaddr4 which has the same members with the same purposes but the 


names have changed (r_netid -> na_r_netid, r_addr ->na_r_addr).  This 


effectively fully reconverges the v4.0bis and v4.1 strands of the XDR.
