Some thoughts in-line on the latest version of the draft...

* TFRC is within the Charter of the DCCP WG, so that is fine. My question is
to whether the authors intend this to be also proposed as a method for DCCP
(which I think is also applicable). If so, should the Introduction also say
this?
Yes, it is intended as such.
The congestion control mechanisms here are intended to apply to any
implementations of TFRC, including that in DCCP's CCID 3 [RFC4342].
While we also believe that TCP could safely use similar mechanisms,
we do not specify them here.
* I like the new discussion of the "meaning/behaviour of the idle period" -
but perhaps this thinking still needs to be further developed? - Perhaps
something we could start in the face-to-face WG meeting and then take on the
list?
Not sure what you mean, actually?

- Capacity can also change quickly when the L2 network allocates capacity
based on traffic conditions (BoD). Such methods are common across a range of
wireless technologies, and can take several RTTs to adapt to changes in
traffic conditions.
Got it.

NiTs for consideration by authors in the next rev:

/and idle periods of hours/
- To me, this seems rather understated. Can we be slightly bolder?
A sender that is idle for 30 minutes seems to me to be one that is no longer
actively part of a session. This period is of the order of routing updates.
