your review

Hi Sandy and Prasad

Thanks for a lot of good improvements Sandy. A few more changes are needed.

First sentence of 3.1:
"No changes are proposed to the syntax"

It is fine to say "proposed" in an internet draft, but now that this is an RFC 
I think it should just say
"There are no changes to the syntax". Other suggestions?
GVP1> Agree, this makes sense.

Can you please use "s...@cisco.com" as my email address? This is what I'm using 
in other RFCs.

Prasad, shouldn't your affiliation and contact details be updated as well? At 
least it should say "Cisco Systems, Inc." for both of us.
GVP1> Agree, Please use the same affiliation for both
Thanks,
Stig
