Thanks for the review, Peter!

I would be interested in hearing an answer at least with regards to the
following items:

> Section 7.2: Is the "Delete" operation meant to be atomic?  Should that be
> specified in that section?
> 
> Section 9.7: this section discusses how the "transport protocol" provides
> connection protection services and then says that therefore a
> man-in-the-middle attack is possible.  If that's the case, then the
> "transport protocol" is not (adequately) providing connection protection.
> And without connection protection, a man-in-the-middle attack would of
> course be possible, so saying that because there is connection protection, a
> man-in-the-middle attack is therefore possible seems misleading.

In both cases I too was left wondering what the text actually meant.
