RE: Gen-ART review of draft-ietf-avt-rtp-jpeg2000-beam-10.txt

Futemma-san,

The proposed new version of the draft looks ok to me - it has dealt
with all of the concerns in the Gen-ART review.  I have one comment
on the changes.

The second paragraph of Section 8 now recommends clearing the
saved mh_id (and I would think also the saved header) if the
decoder detects an inconsistency between the header and payload.
It would be useful to repeat that recommendation in Section 4.2
(so that all of the situations in which the receiver should
clear saved information are explained in that section) with
a recommendation to see Section 8 for more explanation. 

Thanks,
--David
