Hi there all,

I'd like to apologize to the authors and WG for how long it has taken me to post this review; I read the document a while back, but forgot to post it :-(

I only had a few editorial / readability suggestions -- they are sufficiently minor (and I'm embarrassed by how long my review took!) that I'll kick off LC without asking for a new version -- authors, please consider them if you post a new version addressing LC comments, or to address IESG Eval comments.
