Thank you for the review, Christer.

FWIW, I agree with the points that Christer raises. Any thoughts from the 
authors?

When I read sections 8.14 and 8.15 they do not give as precise instruction for 
the implementer about how to handle keepalives and dead peer detection as I’d 
personally like to see. Perhaps a sentence could be added to explain what a 
node does (or stops doing) when it declares a peer dead.
