I read the document and support publication.

Some comments: 

s/automate of inter-domain/automate inter-domain/
s/application which control/applications which control/
s/Some of deployments of these/Some deployments of these/

I see use of the strings 'flowspec', 'flow-spec' and 'flow spec'; which
one is the preferred one to use? :)

section 4.2.3
OLD:  The bits lt, gt, and eq can be combined to produce "less or
       equal", "greater or equal", and inequality values.
NEW:  The bits lt, gt, and eq can be combined to produce common
      relational operators such as "less or equal", "greater or equal",
      and "not equal to".

section 5.1:
    I have trouble parsing: "For IP prefix values (IP destination and source
    prefix) precedence is given to the lowest IP value of the common prefix
    length;"

    If a packet destined for 10.5.0.1 is covered by a rule for
    destination 10.0.0.0/8 and a rule covering destination 10.5.0.0/24 -
    the 10.0.0.0/8 rule would 'win' because '10.0.0.0' is a lower IP
    value?

    Another question, and I realise this is a big ask: Is it possible to
    replace the pseudocode with an actual code example? Pseudo languages
    tend to not follow any specific set of rules and therefor oftentimes
    are hard to read. Awk, lua, python, ruby, perl, or really anything
    that actually can be compiled and inspected would be better than
    pseudocode. I've been part of discussions where we tried to
    deconstruct the pseudocode author's intentions and rules of
    precedence.

Section 13: remove 'Note: Any original author...' ?

This concludes my review, thank you for your work on this document.

Kind regards,

Job
