COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the revisions. I have one further comment that occurred to me
in looking at the revised text:

                                                Note that since the
   Default-Namespace-ID of 0x0000 is mandated to appear first in the
   list, if it appears any trailing 0x0000 octets must therefore be
   padding and MUST be disregarded.

it seems to me it can be tightened up a little more, as in

   Since the Default-Namespace-ID of 0x0000 is mandated to appear first in
   the list, any other occurrences of 0x0000 MUST be disregarded.

That is, unless you want to mandate some kind of error response to
0x0000 appearing in a non-first, non-trailing position.
