Hi Roni,

This looks good, but I had a couple of quick comments:

- Section 4.1 changes “MUST NOT be mixed” to “MAY be mixed”, but that’s inconsistent with Section 6. I think Section 4.1 ought to say “MUST NOT be mixed unless support for mixing one- and two-byte header extensions is signalled as in Section 6”. 

- The draft needs to define the ABNF for the new “mix-headers” SDP attribute. I also suggest “a=extmap-allow-mixed” might be a more consistent name than “a=mixed-headers”.

- The draft removes the description of how IANA should manage the namespace, and the initial registrations. I don’t think this should be removed, but if it is, the IANA considerations needs an additional paragraph stating that the IANA registry for RTP Compact Header Extensions is to be managed in accordance with RFC 5285.

Cheers,
Colin
