* Section 11.7
The MAC address encoding on the wire seems to be wrong. Instead of using
6 bytes for MAC-48 the document seems to using 8 bytes. Similarly for
EUI-64 the document seems to be using 12 bytes instead of 8. Please fix
this (Also Note that the length values specified under the format of the
data item seem to be correct i.e. 6 & 8 - it is the data item format that
is wrong)

* Sections 11.2, 11.3, 11.9 and 11.10
The IPv4 and IPv6 addresses do not seem to be aligned on word boundaries.
Didn't you face any inefficiencies/difficulties due to this in your
implementations (I saw there were four independent ones)? 

* Section 11.11.1
Agree with Alia's point that there seems to be a typo in "IPv4 Attached
Subnet"
