Fixed.

New text:

       If the S bit in the received RREQ-DIO is set to 0, the router
       MUST determine the neighbor from which it received the RREQ-DIO,
       and the cost of traversing the link from that neighbor.

Fixed.

Unfortunately, "time" is ambiguous, since it can often mean a
particular point in time, and not a specified duration of time.
The following sentence motivates non-default values:

      "A greater value for RREP_WAIT_TIME can allow for discovery of cheaper
       reverse routes back to OrigNode, at the cost of longer route 
discovery
       times."

  Fixed.  It is surprising that idnits wouldn't catch this.

Charlie P.
