Summary: This document is not ready for publication as a standards
track RFC.

[Reviewers note:  It is quite possible that the problem listed below
is my error.  In that case, this should be considered as ready with
minor issues.]

Major issues:
    I can not find any record of an IETF last call for this document. 
I looked in the document history and the IETF discussion list.  If I
missed it, I apologize for being oblivious.

Minor issues:
    Why is the example if section 4 (and others later on) described as
"non-normative"?  Is it incomplete?  incorrect?  An example is, by
definition, not a full specification.  The language seems designed to
reduce the value of the example.  I would recommend removing all the
"non-normative" notes from the examples.  They are clearly stated to
be examples.
