## Comments

### Section 3.1, paragraph 2
```

     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
     | sub-TLVs ...                                    (0-246 octets)
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
```
It's somewhat unusual to have a header diagram that doesn't fill its
rows and uses that space to instead define the field length for a
second time (it's already defined by the horizontal space used,
which is why there is bit count at the top.)

### Section 3.3.1, paragraph 4
```
     The remote AS number field has 4 octets.  When only 2 octets are used
     for the AS number, the left (high-order) 2 octets MUST be set to 0.
     The remote AS number sub-TLV MUST be included when a router
     advertises an inter-AS TE link.
```
Would the higher-order octets not be zero anyway if the value is <= 0xffff?

### Section 3.3.4, paragraph 4
```
     If the originating node does not support IPv4, the IPv6 Local ASBR ID
     sub-TLV MUST be present in the inter-AS reachability TLV.  Inter-AS
     reachability TLVs which have a Router ID of 0.0.0.0 and do NOT have
     the IPv6 Local ASBR ID sub-TLV present MUST be ignored.
```
NOT is not an RFC2119 term.

## Nits

All comments below are about very minor potential issues that you may choose to
address in some way - or ignore - as you see fit. Some were flagged by
automated tools (via https://github.com/larseggert/ietf-reviewtool), so there
will likely be some false positives. There is no need to let me know what you
did with these suggestions.

### Grammar/style

#### Section 5, paragraph 5
```
 this document. No additional acknowledgments are made for the new version (
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```
Do not mix variants of the same word ("acknowledgment" and "acknowledgement")
within a single text.
