Re: [bfcpbis] I-D Action: draft-ietf-bfcpbis-rfc4582bis-01.txt

Hi all,

Re-reading rfc4582bis, I noticed some confusing terminology. The 'I' Bit is
described as the 'Transaction Initiator' flag. But, by its description, it
is set by the Transaction _Responder_, not the initiator. This seems a
recipe for confusion. I think it would it be better to rename it the 'R'
bit, as the 'Transaction Responder' flag.

As a secondary point, we are starting to define multiple BFCP version values
with this spec. It seems to me that it was an oversight in the original spec
not to include an error message of "Unsupported Version".  Is there any
reason why we should not take this opportunity to define this value?

Regards,
Alan
