Summary:

This draft is ready for publication as an Experimental RFC.

Comments and Questions:

I didn't attempt to evaluate the security considerations as it is 
totally outside my scope. I trust this will be dealt with by a security 
review.

I have the following questions about the draft. (I don't think they even 
rise to the level of nits.)

1) Regarding PMTU range in section 5:

Was any consideration given to supporting PMTUs greater than 2^16?

2) Regarding multiplexing of Rtn-PMTU and R-Flag in section 5:

Min-PMTU is permitted to be odd, but Rtn-PMTU is forced to be even to 
allow room for the R-Flag. Hence, if the Min-PMTU ends up odd, then it 
will be rounded down in Rtn-PMTU.

Why not restrict Min-PMTU to be even as well? This would provide 
consistency and make clear that MTUs need to be even? This could be done 
by reducing Min-PMTU to 15 bits, adding a 1-bit reserved field, and a 
few explanatory words to the text.
