Hi Adrian, thanks for your comment.

One of my earlier comments (as co-chair, I believe) was that the
terminology needed to be synchronized with RFC 7426 (which had just
been published when I made the comment).  I see that the authors
reproduced the definitions from RFCs, rather than listing them as
terms defined elsewhere.  "path" from RFC 2330 is another example.

So, the first comment is to embrace the existing terminology through
references. Then, more of us will be using the same terms, and reviews
of this work will be more efficient.

regards,
Al
