IETF conflict review for draft-irtf-samrg-common-api
conflict-review-irtf-samrg-common-api-01

The IESG has concluded that this document extends an IETF protocol in a way
that requires IETF review and should therefore not be published without IETF
review and IESG approval.

IESG NOTE:

Specifically, the document appears to propose incompatible extensions
to URIs: using URIs with unregistered schemes (ip: and sha-2:, for
example) and using registered schemes, such as sip: and reload:, in
ways they were not intended to be used and that deployed software
would not support.

This document seems to be overloading URIs to make them serve as
multicast group names, and overloading URI schemes to serve as
namespaces in the proposed SAM system.  Having identifiers that look
like URIs but have different semantics and are used in different ways,
is a very bad approach and is likely to cause serious breakage as
those identifiers become intermixed with and indistinguishable from
true URIs that applications expect to dereference.
