Normally, we ask for comments to go to the IAB mail list, but for
this document, it is more appropriate to use the RFC Interest list.
Please send comments to rfc-interest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

The document looks reasonable.

As an author, I have had exchanges in the past with an IESG member who would, I believe, disagree with the advice in the first sentence, last paragraph of Section 4.8.2. I am happy with that paragraph as it stands.

   To simply specify a necessary logical relationship, the normal
   lowercase words should be used.  On the other hand, if the
   capitalized words are used in a document, choose and use them
   carefully and consistently.

Nit: last paragraph of Section 1, disagreement in number.
