Summary: Ready, but one issue with the IANA Considerations section.

I reviewed the diff with 4583. The changes were easily understandable and the
improvements were obvious. Well done. No major issues at all. I think section
13 isn't as clear as it ought to be, but not a showstopper. A couple of nits
noted.

Major issues: None.

Minor issues:

13: I found this section confusing. You could just explain this interactively
with IANA, as I suspect they will find it confusing too, but I'd suggest:

- Where you need to have IANA do something new, identify that to IANA as "IANA
is requested to register...", replacing "This document defines" in 13.6.

- For the remainder, identify those with "IANA has registered...", replacing
"This document defined" in 13.2 through 13.5. You can put a parenthetical note
next to each one that says, "No new IANA action requested here"

This all gets cleaned up by the RFC Editor anyway, but the whole idea of the
IANA Considerations is to make it clear what IANA needs to do, not format the
section for what it should look like when published.

Finally, I don't see a need for the "contact [e-mail]" bit. This is going
to be a standards track document, and that is always the case for standards
track documents.

Nits/editorial comments:

5.1:

- Table 1 contains "c-s", but it has not yet been explained. I would move it
below the subsequent paragraph.

- In the paragraph that begins, "Endpoints compliant with [RFC4583]", the comma
in the second sentence belongs after "present", not "client".

5.2:

- In the section title, s/Attributes/Attribute
