Thank you for bringing out that distinction. Yes, that’s accurate and an 
important distinction that I had completely missed. 

I think that both issues are worth addressing. I am thrilled that you’re 
willing to address (a). 

On (b), I agree that it’s an issue and one that is unlikely to be seen in 
practice. Still, someone has to write code. As my friend Fletch has always 
said: “The programmer has to fill in that else clause.” So I would like to 
encourage you to address it as well. Yes, I realize that it’s no fun, but it 
does deserve to be written down. Please feel free to borrow language from the 
multi-tlv draft. :)

Regards,
Tony
