Re: I-D ACTION:draft-morris-geopriv-scenarios-00.txt

Jorge and Mehmet,

Congraturations on the draft! Good work. You guys saved the geopriv WG.

In my opinion, the draft does not make it clear which parts are requirements
or not. I think that the sentences starting with "Req" are requirements and
the rest is just background information. But the background information
sometimes sounds like requirements and is confusing. For example,

I am not sure if basic location information types are requirements or not.
If it is, I have a comment on the descrete format along with Dante. At
least,
in China and Japan, we do not use "street address". Also the format should
handle international languages (e.g. UTF16, UTF32). Anyway I think the
format
definition should be out of scope.

In 3.2, what is "correct" abstraction is written with example of DT1 and
DT2. I do not think this is neccessary in the draft. Rather, the draft may
say what is "correct" abstraction is out of scope. The protocol should not
assure the semantical correctness of the data. It just sends back and forth
location relevant data between authenticated/authorized parties.

The Pol flow does not just send a policy but should let the owners view and
modify current policies stored in the repository.

The section 3.3 discusses identities and authentication/authorization. But
I am not sure how the discussions are related to Req 15 and 16. I think it
is more important to determine who authenticate/authorize whom in figure 1.

Regards,

Kenji
