Wendy,

Great work! Here are some early comments.

- Page 4: "If a server provides a numerical-mode cost map, ..." => "If a
server provides a numerical-mode cost map for the "routingcost" metric.,"
The reason is to make clear that Figure 2 is for the only routingcost
metric only.

- Page 4: "If a server provides an ordinal-mode cost map, the server may
use whatever values it wants, provided the ordinal values preserve the
order of the numerical values. "

   I see that there are duplicate values in Figure 2 (e.g., 75.0). A
question is to define the meaning of "preserve", as RFC7285 does not define
it, I believe. Here is an attempt in defining it precisely. First, for
non-equal case, we should have num[x] > num[y] => ord[x] < ord[y]. An issue
is if we define the case for num equal, e.g., num[x] == num[y] => ord[x] ==
ord[y]. I assume that we have it?

- Page 4: Can a server provide both a numerical and an ordinal cost map?

- Page 5: "a numerical-mode cost map MUST use these values, and an
ordinal-mode cost map may use any values consistent with this ordering."
  Page 4 used the word preserve and here it is consistent. How about the
draft uses one word, say consistent, and the draft defines the meaning
consistent as above?

Similar small consistent use for the alternate map.

- When I read Page 7: "A server MAY provide whatever additional resources
it desires, as long as they are consistent with the network maps, cost maps
and endpoint properties defined in Section 2. ", a question of 3 network
maps came to mind. I liked that you clarified on page 8.

- Page 7: "Cost Map resources for the "routingcost" and/or "hopcount"
metrics, in either "numerical" or "ordinal" modes, using the values defined
above." How about clarify that it is for the alternate network map?

- Page 9: "However, each client MUST be able to verify the default network
map and the associated "routingcost" cost map." Does this handle the case
of both modes, if provided?

Overall, a great design, and I am looking forward to seeing the ECS test
cases as well :-)

Richard
