COMMENT:

Sec 3. “Section 6.3.1 of [RFC6550] defines a 3-bit Mode of Operation (MOP) in
the DIO Base Object. This specification applies to MOP values 0 to 6. For a MOP
value of 7, the compression MUST be used by default regardless of the setting
of the "T" flag.“

Is “This specification” referring to 6550 or roll-turn on-rfc8138? I have a
feeling you mean RFC6550. But that document only defines MOPs 0-3!

On a similar note, it might be useful to establish an IANA registry for MOP
code points so that change control for these bits is clearer.
