Folks,

FYI, this rev addresses comments we received off-list, some minor issues 
that we found while doing a fresh review ourselves, and comments that we 
got as a result of draft-gont-numeric-ids-sec-considerations being last 
called (that led to folks looking at the two PEARG I-Ds on numeric IDs).

Other than generally polishing the text and fixing minor errors:

* We added a short Section "8.3.  Fingerprinting", upon request of 
Bernard Aboba.

* All discussion of algorithms or techniques that generally have 
negative implications has been moved into Appendix A.

If you can please do take a look and let us know what you think.

Thanks!

Regards,
Fernando
