The following errata report has been rejected for RFC5925,
"The TCP Authentication Option".

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5347

--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Editorial

Reported by: Ignacio Goyret <ignacio.goyret@nokia.com>
Date Reported: 2018-05-03
Rejected by: Mirja Kühlewind (IESG)

Section: 5.1

Original Text
-------------
3. The TCP header, by default including options, and where the TCP
   checksum and TCP-AO MAC fields are set to zero, all in network-
   byte order.

   The TCP option flag of the MKT indicates whether the TCP options
   are included in the MAC.  When included, only the TCP-AO MAC field
   is zeroed.

   When TCP options are not included, all TCP options except for TCP-
   AO are omitted from MAC processing.  Again, the TCP-AO MAC field
   is zeroed for the MAC processing.


Corrected Text
--------------
3. The TCP header and TCP options, where the TCP checksum and TCP-AO
   MAC fields are always set to zero, all in network-byte order.

   The TCP option flag of the MKT indicates which TCP options are
   included in the MAC. When TCP options are not included, only the
   TCP option for TCP-AO (as described in Section 2.2) is included
   in the MAC. Otherwise, all the TCP options are included in the MAC.


Notes
-----
Rewording for clarity and simplification.
The original text could lead to confusion re '...When included, only the TCP-AO MAC field is zeroed.'
 --VERIFIER NOTES-- 
Rejected as the proposed text does not seem fundamentally clearer.
