* Section 3

"CoAP messages received with a Hop-Limit option ... ***greater than '255'***
MUST be rejected"

Since the field is only 8 bits long this will never happen, right? If so, this
text about >255 needs to be removed.

* I would have expected that a CoAP option with NoCacheKey bits all zero would
need to match in order to be served from the cache. Checking also for smaller
values of Hop Limit for sending stored responses seems to (IMHO) complicate
things for little benefit.
