Hi Sebastian,

Indeed. Most comments are editorial as your draft is very well written
already. The main issues which may become non-editorial are (1) whether to
make the demarcation points flexible; (2) some more discussions on the
mapping between prefix and information mapping. I will be more than happy
to send a few more sentences right after this ietf.

Regarding the 64 bits example. What if the prefix is say 65 bits. It looks
that the nested if will skip it. Do I misunderstand?
