Thank you for the comments. I have some questions:

There is already a reference to the definition of UTF-8 [RFC3629] in 
section 4.5. Do you think the reference needs to be included with every 
use? The US-ASCII subset of UTF-8 is also defined in RFC3629, so I am 
inclined to use the same reference for that. There are also a couple of 
uses of US-ASCII without mention of UTF-8. I'm inclined to change those 
to "the US-ASCII subset of UTF-8".

Regarding ASN.1 and XDR, I can add references if you think it important. 
But their use is very peripheral, and it isn't necessary to know what 
they are to read the text.

# s/session- specific/session-specific/

Regarding "session- specific" vs. "session-specific":

The context for this is:

"Attribute scopes in addition to media- and session- specific may also..."

The space was intentional so that there are equivalent constructions for 
"media" and "session". The intent is as a shorthand for:

"Attribute scopes in addition to media-specific and session-specific may 
also..."

To avoid confusion I think I'll just change to the latter.

I'm not clear what you want me to do. I guess you are suggesting adding 
something to the first figure in section 5.

I don't see how that would be possible for a=cat and a=keywds, since the 
figure doesn't mention individual attributes. While it is possible to 
add something for k=, IMO it is better to leave that level of detail to 
the complete description in section 5.12.
