This is a problem caused by the internet-drafts publication process;
the sources submitted did not have this problem. Hopefully, this
problem will not occur when we re-submit the sources.

OK.

Yes. Gladly.

Done.

Added citation.

Discussing with Bridgemib WG and 802.1 WG how to proceed on this.
The IEEE 802.1 WG has agreed to discuss this at their upcoming meeting
during the week of July 15 to provide clarifications. We will update
the document once that has been done.

Done.

Since INTEGER and Integer32 are indistinguishable in practice, I
changed these to Integer32.

Smilint complained that qbridgeCompliance2 was referencing
qBridgePortGroup, which was deprecated.
I believe it should have been referencing qBridgePortgroup2, so I
changed it.

Smilint complained about the lack of a display-hint for VlanIndex, so
I added one.
