okay, how about:

+ the <xref target="RFC8085" /> section 3.1.3 recommendation of 1 packet per 3
+ seconds.
+ This can be achieved with the congestion control mechanism specified

I think you are saying that we should have a default PROBING_RATE, if the JRC
does not specify one. I think that we assumed that the RFC7257 section 4.8
value of 1 byte/second would apply. please confirm?

Because RFC6282 (and friends) has specific encoding to omit DSCP if it is zero.

In 6tisch networks, different DSCP points can be used to get different
behaviours, see .... UHM. Let me get back to you on this, because the
reference has evaporated.

We got pushback about relying on 7252 defaults, because what if they changed.

I guess since it's a MUST for the JRC, we need to do that.

so like:
title: Constrained Join Protocol for 6TiSCH

You are right. The last sentence does not belong.
During the join process, the network identifer, returned in the CoJP response
is a MUST (8.4.1)

reference added.

done.

done.
