[Bruno] Thanks. Done.

[Bruno] Thank. Done.

[Bruno] To be honest, that's just verbatim copy from https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8919#name-application-identifier-bit- 
At the time, I had assumed that copying an already agreed upon sentence from an RFC was simplifier and safer. Looks like I was only 50% right 😉.
You have a good point. I can't find a legitimate reason.
I used your proposed wording (although my natural inclination would have used a "MUST")

[Bruno] Thank you. And that's good news.

[Bruno] Thank you. Excellent news for us, especially coming from the security directorate  😉 

Thank you again for your time.

This will be reflected in the next version (-08) hopefully published on Monday. (when submission re-opens)
