[802SEC] Re: new 802.17 PARs for consideration in November
Mike,
I understand that your Working Group wants to update 802.1D to accommodate 802.17. However, I am uncomfortable about publishing an amendment to 802.1D called "802.17a". I think that the document number of the amendment should reflect the number of the document it's amending, rather than the Working Group that developed it.
I also see that Tony's new 802.1D revision PAR is on essentially the same schedule as your project. If .17's new material could get incorporated into the revision somehow [please don't ask me how!], then perhaps you wouldn't ever need to publish 802.17a as a standalone document. In that case, I wouldn't really care about the project number of the draft.
