Hi -

A few non-technical comments on draft-ietf-adslmib-vdsl-ext-mcm-02.txt:

Purely mechanical:
0x09 at line 1 position 1
trailing blanks make line 75 too long (74 characters)

Editorial:
   - sometimes has only one space following period at
     the end of a sentence.  should be two.

   - Some abbreviations not expanded on first use:
 ETSI, ITU, DSLF, VACM, PMD, and SCM

   - section 2.1: "MIBS" -> "MIBs"
   - section 2.3: "monitioring" -> "monitoring"

   - indentation oddities:
 section 6.1: DSLTFR057, RFC2580, RFC2586
 section 7 is indented one character position more than others

   - the order of the following sections deviates from the
     order recommended in draft-rfc-editor-rfc2223bis-07.txt:
|5.   Security Considerations .......................................  17
|6.   References ....................................................  18
|6.1  Normative References ..........................................  18
|6.2  Informative References ........................................  19
|7.   Acknowledgements ..............................................  19


   - section 6.1: punctuation is inconsistent.  for example:

Although the document uses "MUST NOT" , "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED"
and "SHOULD" , there is no reference to RFC 2119.  The second "SHOULD" in section
2.4 should be "should", or, better still, the sentence should be re-phrased to remove the word.
