Received changes through RFC Editor sync (changed abstract to 'This document describes the RELATIONAL extension to the Sieve mail filtering language defined in RFC 3028. This extension extends existing conditional tests in Sieve to allow relational operators. In addition to testing their content, it also allows for testing of the number of entities in header and envelope fields.

This document obsoletes RFC 3431. [STANDARDS-TRACK]')

[Ballot comment]
This was approved so I'm sending this comment as a suggestion to
Scott and Alexey as something they could advise the RFC Editor
for doing while the document is on the queue:

It would be best not to send drafts to the RFC Editor blocked for
long times by normative references.  This has a number of references
to 3028bis, which appears to have a long time before it will be ready for
publication.  Those references seem to be generic enough to switch them
to RFC 3028, with a parenthesis "(at the time of this publication
a revision of RFC 3028 is in preparation)" which would free the document.

Note about 3028bis:  it's currently blocking 2 other docs in the RFC Ed
queue, which maybe could have the same strategy applied.  Bill has some
data on the drafts blocking other drafts at
http://rtg.ietf.org/~fenner/iesg/rfcq-random-checks.html

The other incomplete normative is draft-newman-i18n-comparator, but
I see it has now gone to Last Call, and though it's got a lot of work ahead,
with a complex IANA registry etc, it seems close enough.

Per Barry Leiba, an implementation report is not yet available.

The document includes references to two I-Ds and one Proposed Standard
(2822).  Draft standards can't include normative references to documents at
a lower level on the standards track without having to invoke variance
procedures.  I can't invoke those procedures for I-Ds.

Given the lack of an implementation report and the normative reference
issues I have to push this one back to you guys.  The document might be
done, but I can't ask the IESG to evaluate the document for Draft Standard
status without having these other procedural issues resolved.

These look like idnits errors; I'll check.  The proto write-up said that idnits passed without error -- why?
