Summary: This is a well written document and I am sure it will serve its target
audience well. However Genart reviews take the perspective of someone new to
the field, and although I am sure it is probably correct and complete when
taken together with its references the learning curve is perhaps a little
steeper than it needs to be due to the extent of assumed knowledge. In the nits
section of this review I make a few simple suggestions that I think would make
it easier for the new reader.

Major issues: None

Minor issues: None

Nits/editorial comments:

   "in the XOR-RELAYED-ADDRESS attribute. "

SB> As far as I can see this not yet been defined or a reference provided in
the document.

   The table in Figure 8 illustrates an example.

SB> There is something wierd going on here.
SB> Figure 8 seems malformed possibly spread over a page break.

SB> You introduce Ta, but it would be so much kinder to the reader to give it a
real name.

SB> DSCP is not well known so needs to defined

SB> You introduce FINGERPRINT without a pointer to where it is defined

SB> The 487 error comes out of a hat without a pointer to where it is defined

SB> ICE-CONTROLLED comes out of the same hat without a pointer/definition, same
with PRIORITY, MESSAGE-INTEGRITY, ALTERNATE-SERVER, XOR_MAPPED_ADDRESS,
USE-CANDIDATE, CHECK-LIST

Section 7.3.1.4, the agent sets the nominated flag of the pair to
SB> should that be nominated or NOMINATED?

In section 8.3.1 it says: " The procedures in Section 8" which is true but
strangely self referencing

7.3.1.4.  Triggered Checks

   Next, the agent constructs a pair....

SB> Next after what? and a pair of what?

You say "Let HTO" again a user friendly name would be helpful to the new reader

Appendix B is great, particularly from section B5 onwards. It would be great to
forward reference this to help the reader understand the normative text earlier
in the document.
