(to save others from looking this up:

   3.  Advice to Protocol Developers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   8
     3.1.  Is the on-wire format new?  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .   9
     3.2.  Can many items be trivially concatenated? . . . . . . . .   9
     3.3.  Are there tags at the start?  . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  10
)

That could be done: it could go into an appendix.
We added this section at the request of early reviewers.
It seems to me that the section would get lost there.
