In this new version, I've removed stray footnote references from the
stand-alone Abstract section and added a bit of detail to the Security
Considerations -- specifically citing at least a few of the protocols
involved.  There's a slippery slope here, in that I could easily end up
describing all the possible deployment scenarios and incorporating
essentially all of rfc-index.txt by reference, but I hope I've struck a
reasonable balance.

I've left the system ID issue as an informative reference.  No matter
how I read this PPP document, providing system IDs is not a requirement
for implementing this protocol.  It _might_ be a requirement for IS-IS
implementations.  But the protocol described here isn't IS-IS.

So, with that, I'm starting up the last call period again.  Please
respond by May 23rd, 2011, if you have any comments.  After that date,
I'll ask the IESG to consider publishing.
