Good.

I myself think it is better to do bis documents than just
clarification guidelines as splitting things to multiple documents do
make things harder to implement.

Also I think that currently everything in the draft is really a
clarification to the original document, i.e. something that the
original document should have already said more clearly, and in some
cases there are new rules to be added to the processing of the
packets.

There are no real implementation guidelines in the current draft,
i.e., something that would say something like "when doing xxx, it is
often good idea to do yyy also", or "to implement zzz, algorithm like
aaa is good, but others can also be used". I.e., cases where there are
multiple ways of doing same thing, and any of them can be used, but
some of them has been found to be better than others.

Because of this I think it would be quite natural to start making the
bis document instead of clarification document if authors are willing
to work on such draft too...
