Review of draft-westerlund-mime-dls-01

[Tom-PT Taylor]

The subject draft is a reasonable contribution to the are of Internet 
engineering which it covers. It has editorial issues which should be 
fixed before it is approved.

The major issue is that, despite the presence of an acceptable Security 
Considerations section (section 2), the registration in section 3.1 
points to the Security Considerations section of RFC XXXX. Section 4 is 
an RFC Editor's note requesting the substitution of the proper number 
for RFC XXXX. There is no RFC XXXX in the references. Undoubtedly this 
was the result of a change of plan.

I had two minor editorial comments:

In section 2, third paragraph, third line, the phrase "it is stressed" 
caused a momentary glitch in my mind: "Where is it stressed?". Perhaps 
the sentence might read better if it were phrased:

"A key point is that conditional chunks are optional, that is to say a 
parser does not have to execute a conditional chunk."

The other item is an extra "the" in the first line of "Interoperability 
Considerations" in section 3.1.
