Summary:

This document is ready with an issue.

I found this document very coherent and easy to follow.

Major issues:

Minor issues:

My only issue borders on nit, but sided with nit as I can see it
potentially causing confusion for an implementer in the future.

Section 2.5. "Interpretation of Extension Names and Values" explicitly
states in the second paragraph a condition where the relative order of
extension-names in an EXT_INFO message is irrelevant.  However, the rest
of the section seems to imply to me that relative order is not important;
so to explicitly call out a scenario seems to imply that relative order
*is* relevant/important, sometimes.  If relative order is expected to be
important most of the time, I think it helpful to explicitly state that
and give a rationale for it.

Nits/editorial comments:

* RFC 5226 is referenced by this document, but is obsoleted by RFC 8126.
