Carlos,

We have added the email address as requested.

Re:
> United States of America / Spain

FYI, although it's possible to force that to appear by using the postalLine 
element instead of the country element, the RPC prefers to use the country 
element to hold this data. That said, xml2rfc isn't able to handle the 
following (or two country elements) as input:
<country>United States of America / Spain</country>

It gives this warning:
> Warning: Country lookup failed for <country>United States of America / 
> Spain</country>.  Use --country-help to show recognized country names and 
> codes

It generates an output file that does not contain the country line at all. So, 
the document remains with "United States of America". Please let us know if you 
would like any further changes (i.e., no country at all, or change to "Spain" 
only).

Files are available at the URLs below.

Thank you for letting us know. We assume your approval still stands unless you 
let us know otherwise.
