Re: [STDS-802-11-TGBT] [STDS-802-11-TBGT] 11-26/1265r4 - text for Extended Length Element proposal
There is a mismatch in the temporary subclause number: 10.28.X.X in
the reference vs. 10.28.XX in the title.
"an one or more" --> "one or more"
Redline in 12.7.2 has some unexpected deleted (strikethrough)
"Extended Length" strings.
Is an Extended Length Element an instance of "an element"? I thought
it would be, but this text seems to disagree: "An Extended Length
Element is parsed according to 10.28.X.X (Extended Length Element
element) and is not interpreted as an element or as a KDE." I would
delete the "and is not interpreted ... KDE" part.
"A STA that receives an Extended Length Element element in the Key
Data field where it is not explicitly permitted by the corresponding
EAPOL-Key PDU description shall silently discard the EAPOL-Key PDU."
feels like a requirement that would apply to all STAs, including ones
that do not support Extended Length Elements. That feels wrong. Such
shall discard requirement should be conditional on the STA supporting
this mechanism.
Why the Extended Length Element ID 0 is reserved?
Table 9-ZZZ should be extended to include an "Extensible" column
similarly to Table 9-164.
How can an AP send an Extended Length Element element in an
Authentication frame when an Authentication frame does not include an
Extended Capabilities element? The AP would not know whether the STA
sending an Authentication frame supports this capability since the
need capability indication is not present in that frame.. In other
words, this would need the Authentication frame format be extended at
least for the PQC cases, but ideally, for all cases, to optionally
allow an Extended Capabilities element.
