Applicability: Trying to avoid confusion when read in future years

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Three places where the text might avoid confusion when read in future years:

  1. “Further downgrades to older TLS versions than used in QUIC, which is 1.3, “
    … will it always be 1.3, or should this be “in QUIC [REF] is TLS 1.3”

  2. “Currently, QUIC only provides fully reliable stream transmission, which means that prioritization of retransmissions will be beneficial in most cases, by filling in gaps and freeing up the flow control window. “

  • I'm not so happy with currently here: Is this the best way to say this, might it be better to say this rather than even hinting that future QUIC might only be reliable:
    “When a QUIC endpoint provides provides fully reliable stream transmission, prioritization of retransmissions will be beneficial in most cases, by filling in gaps and freeing up the flow control window. “
  1. I’d prefer to see a ref here, since this something that the WG might later decide to work upon:
    “Currently QUIC only supports failover cases [Quic-Transport].”
