COPS-over-TLS (draft-ietf-rap-cops-tls-10.txt)

This draft falls between "basically ready" and "open issues":

This draft is basically ready for publication,  but has open issues:
the document is well written but the AD review has raised a couple
of points which the authors have already acknowledged:

Bert has already done an excellent in depth review of the IANA related
issues: http://ops.ietf.org/lists/rap/rap.2005/msg00000.html

and one of the authors has responded with some planned updates:
http://ops.ietf.org/lists/rap/rap.2005/msg00001.html

so a version 11 document should be forth coming...

Note also that the major change from version 9 to 10 was the use of  a
TLS Integrity object instaed of the previously defined Security ClientSI
Object - this leads to a  change  is proposed staus for another working
group document:

http://ops.ietf.org/lists/rap/rap.2004/msg00046.html

"Just a clarification. Since the draft defines a TLS Integrity object for
COPS, the WG is planning on sending the COPS-over-TLS document to the
IESG as a Proposed Standard and not Informational as originally planned.

	-Scott Hahn
	 RAP WG co-chair"

You may want to link these two docs in the next cycle.

That said, in reviewing "primarily for readability and consistency"
this is a well written document. The structure is logical, the level
of the definitions is helpful, and the requirements (MUST/SHOULD/etc)
are very clear. A pleasure to read.
