Les,

	Perfectly fine by me. That suggestion was something that came up just reading through the abstract and was meant for someone who was reading that paragraph alone. It does become clear later that it must be per TLV based on the main body text.

Peter -

Thanx very much for your review.

I have made all the suggested editorial changes except one.
I will upload V11 of the draft once the submission window reopens on March 16.

Regarding your first comment:

<end snip>

The 255-octet limit arises because the size of the "length" field in a TLV is 8 bits.
Therefore, I see no need to make the suggested change.
