Sure, the may be editorial work to do, but I still think it is important to clarify whether the reader of this document is expected to be familiar with RFC 5770, or whether this document is supposed to be an "ICE variant" on its own.

Christer

I haven't been involved in the work on this draft, so I may be wrong, but I did review the document and my understanding is that RFC 5770 is the "variant of ICE", and this document is a modification/extension to RFC 5770.

This document is a variant of ICE in the sense that it is ICE-like and explicitly depends on quite a bit of ICE.
