I am fine with that, but good idea to check with others who actually
have to implement the document. :-)
Thanks for taking care of this.

Minor issues:
In the paragraph after Figure 3, it says, "and subsequent values are
monotonically increasing". I'm not sure I understand what that means.
If 0 is
the highest priority, then 1 is a *lower* priority than 0, not an
increasing
priority. If you are trying to say that the numeric value of the
priority field
is increasing by 1 for each subsequent value, then "monotonically
increasing"
is wrong; the sequence "0 2 5 36" is monotonically increasing. You'd
say
instead, "and subsequent values increase by one". If all you mean is
that
values start at 0 and go up from there, I think you should just
delete the
entire phrase; it doesn't add anything and strikes me as confusing.
[acm] I seem to recollect that we arrived at this sentence after
explaining the inverse relationship between values and priorities
along the way.
Surely, someone has done this before, and co-authors welcome other
concise text suggestions.

The client container holds a list (mode-preference-chain) which
specifies the Mode values according to their preferred order of use
by the operator of this Control-Client, including the
authentication
and encryption Modes. Specifically, mode-preference-chain lists
the
mode and its corresponding priority, expressed as a 16-bit unsigned
integer, where zero is the highest priority and subsequent values
are
monotonically increasing.

Does that do it?
