Re: [bfcpbis] Ben Campbell's Discuss on draft-ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4583bis-26: (with DISCUSS and COMMENT)

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your review!

As the MUX category issue is discussed in a dedicated thread, I will not address it in this reply.

I will modify to "any other value MUST be ignored".

I don't think referencing section 7 would help, because it only talks about the TCP roles.

I suggest to remove the "Typically,.." sentence.

Well, it IS said in the second sentence, but I will add the suggested text.

I will remove the comma.

    incorrect.

I will remove the comma.

I will change to "that".

I will make the reference normative.
