Otherwise you encourage plaintext passwords (people will use them anyway if really necessary). I wrote the IMAP URL scheme based on what's in there and now I'm being told to remove the password component. > (There is also a revision of the 'process' document which I will send > to the ietf-url list). Section 2.1.3 largely duplicates section 2.5. Section 2.2.2 has a "of of" I think the process in section 3 is unworkable. I'd suggest: schemes for common use should be standards track or IESG approved experimental other schemes are informational RFCs (potentially with references), but the IESG reserves the right to attach a usage advisory to the document, and delegate review of such documents as necessary. Use first-come, first-serve for ordering. Simple processes are easier to administer.
