I'm uncertain what section 2.1.3. actually recommends. My understanding is that
it is recommend to still send retransmit some message even if the Rl was
reached and to that every 30s basically forever. First of all I think this
still needs a termination criteria when to stop to try to retransmit finally.
And the I don't understand why this is needed, instead of e.g. just using a
larger Rl value? Can you please clarify!

I fully agree with the gan-art review (Thanks Elwyn!) and Alvaro, that this
reads from time to time like a BCP but is actually a extension specification. I
would strongly recommend to apply the changes proposed by the gen-art review,
and there is also a very detailed list of nits/edits that should probably be
applied. Please have a look at that!
