Summary: This draft is almost ready for publication as a Proposed 
Standard but it has two minor issues.

Minor
=====

* Introduction

The justification for the draft is a bit vague. It states the following 
as a justification

"Without publication
    of this document, the only way to have done this would have been to
    obsolete [RFC4960], which is not appropriate."

I am not sure how the authors reached such a conclusion. The protocol 
extension documents could just update RFC4960 in order to achieve the 
same result.Can you clarify or delete?

* Section 3.1

Even though this is under the IANA considerations section, the 
instructions seem to be aimed not at IANA but at protocol extension 
designers. Where does the required documentation need to be? In the 
relevant draft or in an IANA registry. The only IANA instruction I can 
see is the sentence beginning with "IANA creates for each new chunk type 
a registration table for the chunk flags for this type."

Thanks
