DISCUSS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the work on this document,

Hopefully this discuss will be relatively easy to resolve - and may result from
a lack of understanding - but -

   Endpoints that receive the grease_quic_bit transport parameter from a
   peer SHOULD set the QUIC Bit to an unpredictable value unless another
   extension assigns specific meaning to the value of the bit.

Now, this is in reference to a bit - which can only be 0 or 1 - and the
document further goes on to clarify certain situations where this bit should be
set or unset - so I am not at all sure what this paragraph really means and
hoping this can be clarified because I'm not sure how this will be interpreted
on implementation.
