Greetings again to the list,

I have some comment regarding the KEYINFO-TLV.

1. As with the PathData TLV there was no Graph, so I made up one. I include
it in the end of the mail.
2. About the KeyID, it is not specified specific in the document what the
size is. I guess it is an integer, shouldn't it be specified for clarity?
How many Keys may exist for a specific table? Could/Should the KeyID be
limited to less than 4 bytes?
3. In Page 45 it is written:
       KEYINFO-TLV := KeyID FULLDATA-TLV
Shouldn't it be changed to:
       KEYINFO-TLV := KeyID KEYDATA
       KEYDATA := FULLDATA-TLV
Or
       KEYINFO-TLV := KeyID KeyData
This would be in accordance with the examples also in the appendix.

Regards,
Evangelos Haleplidis.
