Hi Haoyu,

Thank you for your changes.

idnits now reports that the line spacing of one of your figures is funny.  I think it is trying to interpret it as text.  This can be ignored.

idnits v3 now requests that you have a citation for BCP 14, as you did in -03.  You can’t win.  :-). I think that this can also be ignored.

Thank you for fixing the reference.

I am waiting to hear back from Carlos regarding his comments and whether you have satisfied his objections.

Cheers,
Tony
