Tables #1036

Closed reschke closed 2 years ago

reschke commented 2 years ago 
<!--[rfced] Tables: We had the following questions related to tables
     throughout the document.

a) References in tables: many tables list only the section number.  We
will update to include the document as well (even though it is a
reference within this document) for clarity and to match the style of
other RFCs.

We have also updated the column heading "Changes" in Table 1 for
similar reasons (i.e., at first glance a reader might think Appendix
B.1 of RFC 2818 is what is being changed).  HTML/PDF versions with
links would not be unclear, but the text version may be.  Please let
us know any objections.

b) Table 7 uses the column heading "Method" while the corresponding registry uses "Method Name".  May we update to the latter for consistency?

c) Would you like the tables throughout to have titles?

a) no, please don't; this is redundant information

b) yes

c) no; actually, we prefer none of them to have titles. Optimally, we could also avoid the distracting table number.
