Chris I looked some more and am happy with it; the changes are thorough and comprehensive. I did wonder about the use of "device" which used to have a technical meaning in early versions of the I-D and now I take not to have. 'Machine' is I think used in the same sense, of the box/stack in general without any more specific meaning and that seems fine.
One minor nit grabbed me, an extra comma in s.1 in " reliable, and secure syslog extensions suffer from the lack of a" where the comma is absent in the same sentence in the Abstract. I take it we are still awaiting a further -tls for review before the three of them go to the rfc-editor.
