(While reviewing H.323v4 for a tunneling thread over on the implementors reflector, I noticed a few unrelated things that concern me to varying degrees. I'll discuss them in separate emails to make it easier to follow the ensuing threads.)
Annexes E and F in H.323v4 are dependent on normative behavior defined in H.323v2 (see below for examples). Besides being rather strange, is this even possible because the ITU-T only publishes a single version of a Recommendation at any one time. For example, when v4 is Decided and published, there is no v3, v2 or v1. How can one implement H.323v4 when v2 (or v3 or v1) is not officially available or even in existence?
Annex E: "H.245 shall be transmitted using the H.323 version 2 (1998) H.245 Tunnelling procedures." Annex F: "If further H.245 signalling is required, they shall perform tunnelling as defined in Recommendation H.225.0 (1998)."
