Hi,

There's only one remaining item to address, so I'm cutting away the others:


>>> In Section A.3.6, "Data encryption" and "source authenticity" are absent
>>> from the list of "security related transport features" (that are relegated
>>> to the other document); this seems like a fatal omission.
>> 
>> The list here are the security related transport features from A.1,
>> which are taken (literally, for consistency) from RFC 8303, which is
>> an analysis of what TCP, MPTCP, SCTP, UDP(-Lite) and LEDBAT offer.
>> Since none of them offer encryption and "Data encryption" is thus
>> not included in RFC 8303, we believe that this is a misunderstanding.
>> We have now clarified where this list is from by adding
>> "from Appendix A.1" in the sentence that introduces this list.

Done, with version -10 (just submitted).

Thanks, fixed!

Cheers,
Michael
