Dear IPFIXers,

In this revision I've added a new section discussing why a "general 
default value" isn't possible and noted that the ability to indicate 
Unobserved Fields provides a side benefit of allowing the Metering 
Process to indicate that it has begun to monitor a new flow but does not 
yet have anything to export. Also the usual minor clarifications and 
error corrections.

I've received a lot of positive feedback about the need for this 
mechanism in IPFIX.

P.

Abstract:
         The IPFIX protocol is designed to export information about
         observations, and lacks a method for reporting that observations
         are unavailable. This document discusses several methods for
         reporting when fields are unavailable, reviews the advantages
         and disadvantage of each, and recommends methods which should be
         used.
