Hi all,

I know I'm too late for this but want to bring it up anyway:

draft-ietf-aqm-recommendation-11 currently says:
"An AQM algorithm that supports ECN needs to define the threshold and
    algorithm for ECN-marking.  This threshold MAY differ from that used
    for dropping packets that are not marked as ECN-capable, and SHOULD
    be configurable."

But I think it should be:
"An AQM algorithm that supports ECN needs to define the parameters and
    algorithm for ECN-marking.  These parameters MAY differ from that used
    for dropping packets that are not marked as ECN-capable, and SHOULD
    be configurable."

so just s/threshold/parameters/  ...?

I've just caught this now because I'm reading draft-welzl-ecn-benefits-02; 
sorry. Maybe it's still possible to make such a small edit... if other people 
think as well that this should be changed...?
