Hi!

Sections 3.3 and 3.4 of draft-ietf-suit-information-model makes reference to different types of UUID formats and generation schemes without citation or explanation.  [RFC4122] is included in the references section.  Assuming RFC4112 UUIDs are the formats in question, RFC4112 should be cited in these sections.  

There is also asymmetry in terminology, RFC4112 describes "versions" UUIDs, but this draft uses the term "types".  Is it accepted practice that these terms are interchangeable? 

Finally, it seems like RFC4112 should be a normative reference because it is needed to explain how to make the UUIDs in Sections 3.3 and 3.4.
