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

No objection to the publication of this draft, but of course a number of
comments about Section 3.10 on Transport protocols:

- Req-ID:  10.001: Not sure if this is really a requirement for a
transport protocol. I would read this as a requirement for the
implementation of a transport protocol. 

- Req-ID:  10.002 says
      Description:  Diverse applications need a reliable transport of
      messages.  The reliability might be achieved based on a transport
      protocol such as TCP or can be supported based on message
      repetition if an acknowledgment is missing.

Repitition without any limitation on the number of repititions, etc is
not a feature of a reliable transport protocol. I would remove "or can be
supported based on message repetition if an acknowledgment is missing".
Otherwise the text will blow up when you try to specific what features a
reliable transport protocol should have. 

- Req-ID:  10.003: Multicast is not a feature of the transport layer.
