Bill,

Section 8 has a paragraph that starts:
>    Note also that Telnet commands may appear anywhere in the Telnet
>    stream.  For this reason,...

This seems to conflict with the paragraph just added:

>    The presence of Telnet commands within a TN3270E data message
>    (i.e., between the header and the trailing IAC EOR) is not
>    supported; neither clients nor servers should send such data.  If a
>    TN3270E data message containing an IAC-command sequence (other than
>    IAC IAC) is received, the receiver should discard the IAC-command
>    sequence and continue processing the TN3270E data message.
>    IAC-commands should be sent between TN3270E data messages, with no
>    header and no trailing IAC EOR.

I suggest we delete the first sentence and first phrase.  Start that
paragraph with:
>    If either side wishes to transmit the decimal value 255...
