COMMENT:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The extensions defined in this document are "an optional TRILL switch
capability".  To me, that indicates that the base TRILL specifications rfc6325
and rfc7177 (in this case) are not affected: an RBridge is TRILL-compliant as
long as it implements what rfc6325 specifies (without these optional
extensions).  I would then like to see the formal "Updates" tags removed.

[The publication of this document is not the place to argue about the meaning
of "Updates", so I'll defer to what the Responsible AD decides.]
