John:

Thank you for the feedback on this draft as to the informational versus
standards track.

   Since you ask...

   I think the draft would be very useful as Informational; but it feels a
bit shy of the mark for Standards Track.

   I really can't find an explanation of why the four choices were chosen
for MANDATORY and OPTIONAL. I also doubt that "advertise-N" choice must be
limited to N==2.

   IMHO, this draft is not ready to publish as Proposed-Standard; and I
don't see an imminent justification for the additional work to make it ready
to publish on the Standards track.

   Obviously, YMMV...
