You have all been very patient with me already -- I can only return
the favor. :-)

231	4.1.  Application Identifier Bit Mask

233	  Identification of the set of applications associated with link
234	  attribute advertisements utilizes two bit masks.  One bit mask is for
235	  standard applications where the definition of each bit is defined in
236	  a new IANA controlled registry.  A second bit mask is for non-
237	  standard User Defined Applications(UDAs).

In this case, there is a mention in the text about the new registry --
I thought it would be useful to the reader to have a pointer to where
the values are.

The comment was meant just as a suggestion.
