The random access operation is not described in this draft, but it is indeed quite obvious how one would make use of such a capability. Its use would require some previous understanding between client and server (possibly gained by the client simply trying out random access). I'm not sure how NUM=0 is special in this case. In any case, I would expect specifications that want to make use of random access to flesh out any details that would be relevant in their use case. > Nits/editorial comments: > > * There are few issues with capitalization (e.g., section vs Section), > which I believe the RFC Editor will handle without me pointing at them.

Again, I expect the RFC editor to help with the cleanup here.
