Summary: This draft is basically ready for publication as an informational RFC. All of the comments from my Gen-ART review of version 05 at IETF last call have been dealt with to my satisfaction in the draft or in email, save the one minor issue below.

Major issues:

Minor issues:

I made the following comment at last call. It's not a show stopper, but I think it should be considered:

> -- It seems like at least passing knowledge of the sockets API is needed to understand this document. I'm curious why the POSIX reference is informational rather than normative?

The authors indicated they believed the reference at the end of paragraph 3 of section 1 to be truly informational. However, I called out an mention at the beginning of the same paragraph that should have included a citation, and that I thought that citation would justify a normative reference. The authors added the citation in version 06, but the reference is still informational.
