My comments in turn below, marked with [PTT]. David, we have a technical error in the SM document, introduced in the -06 version. Can I update it and resubmit?

This comes from working on CL first, then cutting and pasting. The bad text has been there since the -06 version. I'll have to back it out to what was there in -05: no workaround, just notify management. >> NEW >> >> Packets at the ingress to the domain are classified as either PCN or >> non-PCN.
