The WGLC has ended a few weeks ago and I just completed my review. Everything looks good except a few typos. In general, I would avoid using "ms" until it is defined "milliseconds (ms)".

Authors, if you can submit a revision by tomorrow (21st of Oct.), we can ship this right away.

Thanks,

Other comments regarding media subtype registration (Thanks to Bjoern Hoehrmann):

1) The registration in Section 6.1 uses the old template. 
The current template is here: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838#section-5.6

2) Regarding ptime: It might be better to say "Defaults to 4 (milliseconds)", otherwise some might be confused whether the `ms` is part of the value.

3) Regarding stereo channels: If the value includes characters like `{` then in protocols like HTTP the value would have to be enclosed in double quotes since `{` is not allowed as a bare token in that protocol. The situation may be similar in RTP, and if so, that's not sufficiently clear from the text above. The same goes for some other parameters and other characters like `,`.

Is there some other way that we can use to avoid this potential problem?

4) Regarding embedded-autosync-channels: This should be rephrased to avoid combining "MUST" and "only"; it is not clear whether specifying more than the first channel is optional or forbidden. Same for the `embedded-aux-channels` parameter.

5) Regarding the encoding considerations: This should say "framed". 

6) "Restrictions on usage" field can say "RTP applications only".

7) Person & email address to contact for further information: This should be "John Lindsay email:lindsay@worldcastsystems.com"

8) Author/Change controller: This should say "IETF Payload Working Group delegated from the IESG"
