Lou, Alex, Igor,

I have three categories of comments:

   Technical   - For WG discussion
   Editorial   - Text changes I think are needed
   Suggestions - Style comments based on my own preferences and
                 RFC Editor guidelines. I had a conversation with
                 them in Prague regarding style and improving document
                 readability.

See section 4 (starting on slide 47) in <ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-editor/tutorial.latest.pdf>ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc-editor/tutorial.latest.pdf

   Technical Comments on draft-ietf-ospf-rfc2370bis-00.txt

1. Page 6, First Paragraph - I think we should change "MUST NOT" to
   "MAY". Also, go ahead and make two sentenses rather than connecting them
   with a semicolon.

 A neighbor is opaque-capable if and only if it sets the O-bit in the
 options field of its Database Description packets. The O-bit MAY be set in
 the options field for other packet types its setting is not mandatory.

okay, but as the meaning of the 0-bit in other packet types isn't defined, is "SHOULD NOT" acceptable?

I guess I'm not compelled to potentially render existing implementations
in compatible and the "MUST NOT" begs the question of what one does if
it is set in other pacØÛ Ȉ=ÿÿÿÿlZb ket types.

agreed, but I think the question is even more relevant with MAY.
