I don't see any problem is doing some editorial improvements. The
Shepherd review and PROTO statement have not yet been done and after
that the next stage is actually AD review...

An IETF Operations Directorate review of this draft has been
explicitly requested. The draft would no doubt have gotten one
eventually but this may cause it to occur at an earlier stage.

Earlier versions were reviewed by and I believe this draft was
provided early to the 802.1 participants who are working with the OAM
Design Team. In any case, this draft is intended to be the TRILL
requirements and should be generally independent of the technology
used -- for example independent of whether specific TRILL OAM
mechanisms more closely follow IEEE 802.1ag or MPLS OAM or the TRILL
native mechanisms that were being developed in the now expired
http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-trill-rbridge-oam-02.txt draft or
other mechanisms.

Thanks,
Donald
