Hi Mohamed,

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to review the draft and 
submit a PR on GitHub. We greatly appreciate it.

The terms "Peer" and "Server" are now explained in Section 2. In addition, the 
text now consistently uses "set to 1" and "set to 0" to avoid ambiguity.

With regard to values 5 to 7 in the L bits, they are intentionally left unused. 
Since an L value of 4 already allows encoding a Message Length field of 4 
octets, supporting EAP messages of up to 2^32-1 octets, larger values were not 
considered necessary for EAP-EDHOC. The intention is therefore not to define 
additional Message Length field sizes, and values 5 to 7 are reserved. We have 
clarified this in the text.

Finally, we reviewed your PR and it looks good. While doing so, we also 
performed another round of editorial review and fixed a few additional nits.

Best regards,

The EAP-EDHOC Authors.

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

Hi Dan, Rafael, Göran, John, and Francisco,

Thank you for the effort put into this document.

# I agree with Éric comments.

# I think Peer/Server roles would be better if introduced in the terminology 
section.

# Set ambiguity: clarify that this means set to 1

The text uses “set to 0”, “set to 1”, “set”, etc.

Some clarity can be done in the convention section by indicating how “set” 
should be interpreted.

Alternatively, consider changes such as:

OLD:
   The S flag bit SHALL be set in the EAP-EDHOC Start message sent by
   the EAP server to the peer.  The S flag bit SHALL NOT be set in any
   other EAP-EDHOC messages.  The M flag bit SHALL be set in all
   fragments except the last one.

NEW:
   The S flag bit SHALL be set to 1 in the EAP-EDHOC Start message sent by
   the EAP server to the peer.  The S flag bit SHALL NOT be set to 1 in any
   other EAP-EDHOC messages.  The M flag bit SHALL be set to 1 in all
   fragments except the last one.


OLD: The M bit (more fragments) is set on
NEW: The M bit (more fragments) is set to 1

There are many such occurrences.


# Future use

CURRENT:
  Values from 5 to 7 are not used in this specification.

Are these values reserved and available for future assignment?

# You may find some nits that I flagged when reading the document [1].

Cheers,
Med
