Comments to Version 0.8-Reqts Specs

["Klynsma, Steven L Mr DISC4/MITRE" <Steven.Klynsma@hqda.army.mil>]

Below are US Army comments on the Version 0.8 Requirements Specs

Para 2.3 refers to Internet RFC 1766.  RFC 1766 has not progressed beyond
the status of a "proposed standard" despite having been around since 1995.
Concern centers around whether it is viable for inclusion in the Spec.

Same Para also requires ISO 3166 for country name codes.  There is current
debate within DoD over acceptance of ISO 3166.  DoD currently is
standardized on FIPS 10-4 which is not compatible with ISO 3166.  Army
recognizes, that in a document designed to implement global commerce, ISO
3166 is appropriate, but conversion to ISO 3166 for the Army is likely to be
economically impractical at this time.
