1. I see there has been recent discussion of trimming References when
they get too long. Here is the paragraph that will be appearing in the
next draft of the Usenet-Format document:

   Followup agents SHOULD NOT trim message identifiers out of a 
   References header unless the number of message identifiers exceeds
   21, at which time trimming SHOULD be done by removing sufficient
   identifiers starting with the second so as to bring the total down
   to 21. However, it would be wrong to assume that References headers
   containing more than 21 message identifiers will not occur.

2. There is a serious discrepancy in the current draft for References
between the syntax as proposed for mail, and that used in Netnews (as
mandated by RFC 1036). In news, the references is a sequence of msg-ids
separated by at least one space, as in "References: <1234@foo.com>
<5678@bar.com>". Apparently many newsreaders barf if that space is
absent. MESSFOR, OTOH, asks for [CFWS] at that point, which allows no
space at all. May I suggest it needs to be CFWS. AIUI the References
header is an import into mail from news (AIUI), so it really ought to
follow the news precedent. The current text in preparation for the next
USEFOR draft contains:
      References-content  = msg-id *( CFWS msg-id )
I did mention this problem to Pete some while back, but I don't know
whether he has fixed it or not.

3. I just spotted a possible bug/misfeature in the syntax of dtext
(as used in domain-literals in addr-specs and in no-fold-literals in
msg-ids). It allows a dtext to include a naked, unescaped DQUOTE, even
though a quoted-pair is always allowed as an alternative, so that an
unescaped DQUOTE is never required. In any case, wny ever should anyone
ever want a DQUOTE in a domain-literal in the first place?

The problem, of course, is that it makes parsing a nightmare. Currently,
you can have a quoted-string (which can contain naked, unmatched '(' and
')'), and you can have a comment (which can contain naked, unescpaed
DQUOTES). So to parse a structured field (to identify the comments, for
example) you proceed until you see a DQUOTE, at which point you hurry
on to the next unescaped DQUOTE paying no special attention to any '('.
Alternatively, if you see a '(' you hurry on to the matching ')' paying
no special attention to any DQUOTE. But you can't do that if DQUOTE is
allowed in dtext - you than have to watch out for matching '[' and ']'
as well.

Was RFC 822 like that? And if so, could that facility perhaps be demoted
to obsolete syntax. I am sure noone evers uses it.

I've sent out the post-Last-Call document. It is, as usual, out on my 
Web server until it gets posted. See:

<http://resnick1.qualcomm.com/draft-ietf-drums-msg-fmt-08.txt>

Mostly typographical, grammatical, and simplification recommendations 
by Graham Klyne and Keith Moore, and a couple of other folks. I don't 
think any should be controversial; please send to the DRUMS main list 
if there are. Other than typos and strictly grammatical changes, 
here's the list:

Throughout: Change references from BCP 14 to RFC 2119 and ABNF to RFC 2234
1.2 Clarify last paragraph before the note
2.2: Strike first sentence; Clarify folding note
3.2.3:  Simplify CFWS to *([FWS] comment) [FWS]; Remove 127 from ctext
3.2.5: Remove 127 from qtext
3.2.6: Remove 127 from unstructured; Added utext
3.3: No [FWS] required after day-of-week, year, day; Clarify time 
zone description
3.4: Simplify sentence 2 of "Note:"; Clarify use of named list
3.4.1: Remove 127 from dtext; Clarify domain portion paragraph
3.5: 998 maximum a MUST, not a MAY
3.6.2: Fourth sentence - change "may" to "MAY"; Add to end of Reply description
3.6.3: Clarify reply text in last paragraph before the note
3.6.4: Rewrote In-Reply-To and References discussion (did *not* 
include the bit about removal of long entries or space between ids); 
Added last paragraph
4: Clarify first paragraph; Clarify folding comment
4.1: Added obs-utext
4.3: Rewrote alphabetic time zone text; Clarified last paragraph
4.4: obs-local-part now contains word instead of atom; Added last paragraph

I'd rather not change that without specific reason and recommended text.

I will do this after the IESG pass on the document.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Detailed Revision/Update of Message Standards Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Internet Message Format 
	Author(s)	: P. Resnick
	Filename	: draft-ietf-drums-msg-fmt-08.txt
	Pages		: 31
	Date		: 27-Jan-00
	
This standard specifies a syntax for text messages that are sent between 
computer users, within the framework of 'electronic mail' messages. This 
standard supersedes the one specified in Request For Comments 822, 
'Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages' [RFC-822], 
updating it to reflect current practice and incorporating incremental 
changes that were specified in other RFCs [STD-3].

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-drums-msg-fmt-08.txt

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-drums-msg-fmt-08.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-drums-msg-fmt-08.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

Just been looking at what can follow a colon in a field-name, and found a few 
surprises. Surely one expects at least a single SP to be allowed, if not more 
(news insists on that SP, but that is a separate discussion).

If seems that the following are not allowed by the syntax:

From: Joe Doe <jdoe@example.com>

Keywords: foobar

I think a [CFWS] is needed in front of a display-name, and in a keywords. Or 
else you allow it at the start of any phrase.

Also, now comments are outlawed from a date-time (except at the end) you cannot 
write

Date: (a comment) Wed, 26 Jan 2000 21:58:00 -0600 (another comment)

I am not over concerned about that one (and I certainly don't want comments 
_inside_ a date-time), but is that what was intended?

A display-name, like the contents of the Keywords field, is a phrase. 
A phrase is one or more words. A word is an atom or a quoted-string. 
Both atom and quoted-string start with optional CFWS. All perfectly 
legal.

I don't know how I did this; it will be fixed before release.

CFWS            =       *([FWS] comment) [FWS]

is wrong. It should be:

CFWS            =       *([FWS] comment) FWS

I'm sorry about that.

Thanks to Russ Allbery for catching it.

But bog ugly and almost unfathomable.

The intent is that there must be at least one FWS or comment, but
can be any number, in any order, right?

Wouldn't just

	CFWS = 1*(comment / FWS)

do that?
