‘MAY’ does not work. 
It has to be ‘MUST’, IMO.

    Folks,
    
    Why don’t we simply mention that the Eth–Tag is a 32 bit value and MAY be 
set to a 24 bits instance
    When 24 bits value is used is MAY be right aligned.

        Hi John,
        
        I can add that the value is from 0 to 0x00ffffff, will that work?
        
        
        Thanks,
