I've gone ahead and asked for the IETF LC to start for this document.

A few small comments:

>        Code   Len      TCM 
>       +-----+-----+-----+-----+  
>       | TBD |  2  | m1  | m2  | 
>       +-----+-----+-----+-----+

It might be better to not have m1/m2, since the text talks about a
single 16-bit field rather than two smaller fields.
            
>       The length MUST be 2.  The TCM field is encoded as an unsigned 16

better wording for bit ordering might be:

      The length MUST be 2.  The TCM field is encoded as an unsigned 16 
      bit quantity in network byte order.  Each bit of the TCM

>    5.   IANA Considerations 

what about future assignments of bit values?

Could be more clear. I don't follow the last sentence, for example.
