Re: [Gen-art] Genart telechat review of draft-ietf-kitten-rfc5653bis-06

I am inclined to agree that it is better to change the right ones to
upper case -- we really don't have a good reason to still be
producing documents with this type of ambiguity anymore.

Once that is done we can decide whether the change is
substantial enough to require re-running the last call.
