Hi Tom,
I'd suggest you send your question (and possible comment) to
Lloyd McIntyre and Rob Buckley (the Xerox experts on TIFF-FX).
If the word-size really isn't specified, then it sure SEEMS
like an interoperability problem, but I'm out of my depth here.
Cheers,
- Ira

Sta ndard
In reading the I-D, it says on page 8:
An IFD can be at
any location in the file after the header but must begin on a word
boundary.
However, I do not find anywhere whether a word is two bytes or four bytes.
If a sender assumed two byte alignment but sends to a 32-bit architecture
receiver that assumes four byte alignment, this could cause an
interoperability problem if the 32-bit architecture doesn't allow unaligned
references. Right?
Should I make a public comment to the IETF during this IETF Last Call?
Thanks,
Tom

The IESG has received a request from the Internet Fax Working Group to
consider File Format for Internet Fax <draft-ietf-fax-tiff-fx-09.txt>
as a Draft Standard, obsoleting RFC 2301.
The IESG will also consider publication of Tag Image File Format (TIFF)
- image/tiff MIME Sub-type Registration
<draft-ietf-fax-tiff-regbis-02.txt> as a Best Current Practices RFC,
obsoleting RFC2302.
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send any comments to the
iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by January 2, 2001.
