Yes, thanks John. I agree that the current document has more of an
Informational feel. So unless there is other feedback from the list that¹s
probably the track we should follow.

N=2 for the ³advertise-N² mode was only the suggestion for a default
value. The document is clear that N should be configurable with values > 2
as well.
