Re: [babel] I-D Action: draft-ietf-babel-mac-relaxed-01.txt

I have reviewed this document and believe that the protocol itself is solid
and ready for advancement but the doc needs just a little bit of editorial
work: I found section 3.2 a little bit hard to follow. I would suggest
giving variable names to the numbers at play and using those instead of
"right edge" and "left edge" because it took me a second to deduce that the
highest seen packet number was equal to the left edge and not the right
edge of the window. I personally like pseudo-code for this purpose but
prose also works if we can define the terms a little better. Maybe adding
some prose to the definition of right edge and left edge would be enough to
make this fine though.

I unfortunately no longer have access to a Babel implementation to actually
implement this, but I imagined I had one when I read the draft and it was
straightforward to add this feature to my imaginary implementation. Now I
just need to write an imaginary compiler.
