Let me say that this is one of the best Gen-ART reviews I have 
read.  It is not easy to review draft-ietf-codec-opus-12.  I agree 
that it is the most technically complex piece of work within all IETF 
areas.  The normative choice made by the WG is highly unusual.  The 
alternative would be much more work; it might even be an unworkable option.
