Sorry, Donald, I'd missed your review.  I've just submitted a -05 that
takes it into account.

The introduction has been rewritten.  While this section is non-normative,
and therefore doesn't constrain implementations from doing what you
suggest, I've added an instance of the word "typically" as a concession to
implementations that migh do what you suggest.

Done.

Most respectfully disagree.  The reference is used in the following
sentence:

    The extension described in this document is inspired by a previously
    defined extension to the BGP protocol <xref target="RFC5549"/>.

It is important to cite the older reference in order to give proper credit
and be clear who got there first.

Done.

Thanks.  I've checked that I consistently use "next hop" when it is a noun
and "next-hop" when it is used as an adjective.  This is consistent with
RFC 8966.

Done.

In the XML?  The plain-text version is being sorted by xml2rfc, so if
there's any issue, it's a bug in xml2rfc.

This is consistent with RFC 8966.

Thanks,
