--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Min Pae <[e-mail]>

Section: 3.1

Original Text
-------------
The L bit (length included) is set to indicate the presence of the
four-octet TLS Message Length field, and MUST be set for the first
fragment of a fragmented TLS message or set of messages.

Corrected Text
--------------
The L bit (length included) is set to indicate the presence of the
four-octet TLS Message Length field, and MUST be set for the first
fragment of a fragmented TLS message.  The L bit MAY be included
in all fragments of a fragmented TLS message, but if included the
TLS Length MUST represent the entire length of the TLS message.

Notes
-----
The lack of definition for what to do with the L bit and the TLS length field for TLS fragments other than the first fragment is leaving the door open to divergent behavior for whether the L bit and length field are included, what the length contains if they're included, and how to interpret it.
