# AD review of draft-ietf-httpbis-no-vary-search-05 CC @MikeBishop Overall, a very precise and well-written spec. Thanks for the work on this so far. Only a few things I'd like to see cleaned up, and then it will be ready for Last Call. ## High-Level Points ### Query Parameters This spec depends heavily on "query parameters," but fails to define it or point to a definition. It looks like you're referencing the application/x-www-form-urlencoded parser [WHATWG-URL] definition for parsing, so you're most of the way there; you just need to associate the term with that encoding. ### W3C/WHATWG to IETF Translation Not surprisingly, given the history, this reads like a W3C spec. Consider softening the reliance on FETCH/URL/HTML where you don't actually need something that departs from RFCs 9110/3986/6454. ## Comments ### Section 3, paragraph 8 I'm not sure all IETF reviewers will be familiar with the term "authoring conformance requirements," nor will "as always" land so well. Consider "It has the following constraints:" and "A parsing algorithm is defined in Section 5.2." ## Nits All comments below are about very minor potential issues that you may choose to address in some way - or ignore - as you see fit. Some were flagged by automated tools (via https://github.com/larseggert/ietf-reviewtool), so there will likely be some false positives. There is no need to let me know what you did with these suggestions. ### Typos #### Section 1, paragraph 4 ``` - If the specific query parameters (e.g., ones indicating something for - ---- ```
