Good idea. We'll do that in next version of both I-Ds.

No, these results come from an evaluation of the LDPC-Staircase
codes, using a dedicated simulator. However they give an idea of
what performance (in terms of erasure recovery) can be expected
for real use-cases if these codes are correctly used. We'll clarify this.

Thanks for the feedback.
