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

* Section 3:

How can the ASM_mPrefix64 and SSM_mPrefix64 be (variable) as described in
the packet format when the asm-length and the ssm-length MUST be set to
96? Not sure which of these is correct and which is wrong but one of
these things (either the fixed length or the variable prefix) needs to be
fixed.

* Section 4:

This section contains a bunch of must and may level requirements but
contains the following "disclaimer" text.

"This section is not normative but specifies a set of configuration
guidelines."

Not sure what the intent behind this is. Can you clarify?
