Re: [manet] I-D Action: draft-ietf-manet-rfc5444-usage-01.txt

A quick note to say this mostly (a) cleans up quite a few things that often shouldn't have been there, (b) adds a few details in some places (most significantly discussing TLV efficiency better) and (c) stops the draft expiring.

In the new year the authors, plus of course any input from the WG, will consider if there are any other areas we should add to this draft, or whether we should go ahead and try to publish this basically as it is (corrections and clarifications included of course).

And if you see this in time, Happy Christmas and New Year. Otherwise hope it was good in hindsight.

Abstract:
   This document updates the generalized MANET packet/message format,
   specified in RFC 5444, by providing rules and recommendations for how
   protocols can use that packet/message format.  In particular, the
   mandatory rules prohibit a number of uses of RFC 5444 that have been
   suggested in various proposals, and which would have led to
   interoperability problems, to the impediment of protocol extension
   development, and to an inability to use generic RFC 5444 parsers.
