Document: A Registry for SMTP Enhanced Mail System Status Codes Reviewer: Joel M. Halpern Review Date: 17-March-2008 IETF LC End Date: 26-March-2008? IESG Telechat date: N/A Summary: This document is presumably ready for publication as a BCP Comments: I say "presumably" because there are two oddities that strike me reading this document. Firstly, the defining table is labeled "incomplete." I presume IANA is comfortable that they can generate the needed entries? Secondly, there is something odd in the definition. The text says that the codes is a three part numeric value. (Actually, it says "a numeric code consisting of three components" which I take to mean a three part code, each of which is numeric.) However, all of the registration entries themselves start with X. for the code. Last I checked, X was not numeric. At a guess, the idea is to register the subcodes for all three of the "class" values defined in RFC 3463. Presumably, it is believed that this compression in representation will be obvious to the mail implementors who need to read this document, and to the IANA which needs to maintain it. (It confused me, which is why I am raising it.) Possibly, the intent is for IANA to expand those entries into the class 2, etc individual entries?
