Document: draft-ietf-dane-smtp-with-dane-16

Review Date: 5/6/15

IESG Telechat date: (if known)

Summary:

Ready with minor comments.

I liked the operational considerations section and the security consideration section - very useful in putting this work in the context of other similar contributions.

Major issues:

None.

Minor issues:

As the document uses heavily the term 'downgrade' (downgrade attack, downgrade-resistant) it would be nice to either explain or provide a reference for what it means in the context of this work.

Nits/editorial comments:

The last paragraph in section 2.2.1, page 15 has a comment marked twice by --. This may be an editorial left-over to be corrected.
