Hi Martin,

Thank you for the review. 

We released a new revision -08 to address your comments. We will double check the formatting and issue another iteration if needed. 

Please see inline.

Cheers,
Med

[Med] This is fixed in -07. A new tunnel-type parameter is defined to handle this.

[Med] Done.

[Med] It is used to mean function rather than device. A device may enable multiple instances of the same function.

[Med] algo-instance means an instance of type algorithm. br-instances denotes a set of br instances, and bind-instance means an instance of type binding.

[Med] Fixed.

[Med] This is used for logging purposes. A reference to RFC7422 is added.

[Med] OK.

[Med] No. Fixed already in -07.

[Med] Fixed.

[Med] chnaged to:  

              "A binding instance identifier.

               This identifier can be automatically assigned
              or explicitly configured.";

[Med] id/name is inspired from how NAT instances are managed (see RFC7659). The name is optional.

[Med] Ooops. We used to have that before moving to an nmda-compliant module.

[Med] Will double check this one.
