Sending to the TC list for clarity.

    

    These were my notes on initial read of the current specification.

      Richard -

      

      I'm an observer of MQTT, and have started looking at the current
      state.

      

      Do you allow observers to attend meetings?  

      

      I also have several editorial comments about the MQTT ballot draft
      (ballot at https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ballot.php?id=2665
      ). Overall I found the specification quite clear.

      
        
The linked version, the authoritative .doc version, has
          changes shown. I would normally expect a clean version.

        
Some links in the document are strange - the [RFC2119] link
          in section 1.1 points to the HTML of AMQP (!) at http://docs.oasis-open.org/amqp/core/v1.0/os/amqp-core-overview-v1.0-os.html#anchor-RFC2119
          .  This should be an erratum.

        

        
Yellow highlights. It's apparent after reading the entire
          document that they reflect the normative statements for
          conformance and are cited in Section 7 and Appendix B..
          However the reference to that _expression_ and Appendix B is not
          explicitly stated, and should probably be in the introductory
          material. In OASIS specification I usually see this in an
          early section e.g. "Editing Conventions".

      
      
Thanks!
