Document: draft-ietf-marf-authfailure-report-09 Reviewer: Alexey Melnikov Review Date: 2012–01–14 IETF LC End Date: 2012-01-18 IESG Telechat date: 2012-01-19 Summary: This draft is ready for publication as a standard RFC, but a couple of minor issues remain. Major issues: None Minor issues: 2.2. Base 64 Sorry for missing this earlier, but RFC 4648, Section 4 is a better reference for base64. (Don't forget the section reference, because RFC 4648 has 2 base64 alphabets.) In Section 4: spf-dns = "SPF-DNS:" : { "txt" / "spf" } [CFWS] ":" [CFWS] domain [CFWS] ":" [CFWS] quoted-string CRLF I think you are still missing [CFWS] before "txt" and another one before CRLF. Also, you should use "(" and ")" instead of "{" and "}", as the two latter are not valid according to ABNF syntax. To summarize, I think you should use: spf-dns = "SPF-DNS:" : [CFWS] ( "txt" / "spf" ) [CFWS] ":" [CFWS] domain [CFWS] ":" [CFWS] quoted-string [CFWS] CRLF Nits/editorial comments: None
