[LES:] I'll look into fixing this in the next revision. Thanx.

[LES:] The first use of SABM (in Section 5 TLV ASCII art) is followed by:

"SABM Length:    Standard Application Identifier Bit Mask Length in octets."

Do you really think this is not sufficient?

<tp>
yes, I really think that it is not sufficient.  It is a very dense I-D as the 
lists in s.5 and s.6 show so I think that a terminology section would help.  I 
was working with SABM for decades before OSPF repurposed that abbreviation; 
others might stumble with e.g LFA or SR although those I do not. 


> The IANA registry has 28 references to RFC8920; should this be updated?

[LES:] The IANA section states:

"This specification updates two existing registries:..."

Based on this instruction, I assume the IANA folks will update the existing 
references to the new RFC.

<tp>

I never have a problem with giving IANA precise instructions.  They are very 
good at doing what they are told (even when it is not sensible!).  Here you are 
asking them to look beyond the IANA Considerations, note that the references on 
the website are to an RFC that is being obsoleted and infer the action needed.

Tell them!
