I am OK with this.  Note that I also suggested also changing the
"I accept" language in bullets A and B to be "the authors accept"
but I can live without that.

Seems right to me (especially in view of the prior discussion in Scott
and Brian's e-mail messages).

One question, the draft refers to RFC XXXY as the replacement for RFC 3668.
The last call didn't mention it, but I assume that RFC 3668 will indeed be
updated (to point to the RFC 3667 replacement), as implied in the draft.
Is that correct?
