COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks to Michael B. Jones for the shepherd write-up, without which I would
have been a little lost as to why we need this document. The context was
helpful.

I have just two small comments about the spec.

First, in

   If an attacker is able to strip the authentication and integrity
   mechanism, then the attacker can replace it with their one of their
   own creation

s/their one/one/

Second, there are two SHOULDs in Section 8. I am curious why they aren’t MUSTs.
If SHOULD is the more appropriate choice, would it be possible to provide some
commentary as to when it might be fine for an implementor to deviate?
