[core] draft-ietf-core-comi-11 shepherd review

[Carsten Bormann <[e-mail]>]

In my shepherd review of draft-ietf-core-comi-11, I have found a few points that probably need some WG action before we can submit this draft to IESG.
(I also have submitted a PR addressing some nits, https://github.com/core-wg/comi/pull/1 .)

Specifically:

# Major

*** 5: This whole section is rather disappointing.  What does this
    really do except for pointing at RFC 7959?  Is there any
    recommendation in how to work around the race condition?  The
    recommendation to use indefinite length is not solving any problem
    (does not work except in very fortuitous cases).

*** 6.2.2 How does the pagination work, then?
    This SHOULD is not actionable.

*** 7: This creates confusion between 4.01 and 4.03

# Minor

*** 2.2: While it is not clear whether there will be a SID 0, the text
     seems to imply that this would be encoded in the empty string.
     Should it rather specify a single "A”?

*** Appendix A:  Updated to reference RFC 8949 (see PR).
     Do we need a new module version after this edit?
