Thank you for attending to my comments.

I only have one further comment in -07, which is detailed below.

I remain unsure on how a non-dummy peer sends information to a "hint
server".  My assumption is that a non-dummy peer was not modified, so
why would it contact the hint server. which appears to be a piece of
your data-gathering machinery and would not normally appear in the
swarm?

It may be that I am missing something minor here.

Apart from the above, I have no further comments on -07.

I suspect that edits for language etc. will help the draft, but maybe
these could be done by the RFC editor?

Thanks for attending to my review.
