I think this is basically done, and I support it's publication. I only
have one comment:

- Table 2, last row:

I did not find a proscription against zero length strings in the text,
other than a comment that applications can set minimum and maximum
sizes. It's quite possible I missed it. Or is this is a property of the
FreeFormClass? (For comparison, I note that the saslprepbis draft
explicitly forbids zero length strings.)

Yes, it would be good to add a rule about that. I find it difficult to think of an instance where a zero-length string makes sense within PRECIS, but we don't prohibit them in the framework so we'll need to do that in each profile. Something for profile authors to pay attention to (and, unfortunately, forget to address).

I'm neutral as to whether the profile needs to outlaw zero length strings or leave that to the application. My point wasn't that I think we need the rule, it was that the table assumes the rule.
