Re: [xrblock] (2nd) WGLC for draft-ietf-xrblock-rtcp-xr-jb

Hi, Colin:
I realized jitter buffer nominal delay metric can only be sampled and is not desirable to measuring them over definite intervals.
jitter buffer maximum delay metrics is corresponding to the earliest arriving packet in the reporting interval and it is more desirable 
to classify it as sampled metric. When we have several packets that arrives exactly on time in the reporting interval, we can know
which packet has the highest value of the jitter buffer nominal delay, which packet has the lowest value of the jitter buffer nominal delay.
So I like to revoke my proposed change used to address Claire's comment and add the following sentence at the end of definition of interval metric flag to say: 
"
In this document, Jitter Buffer Metrics can only be sampled , and cannot be measured over definite intervals. 
 Also, the value I=00 is reserved for future use.  Senders MUST NOT use the values I=00 or I=10 or I=11.  
If a block is received with I=00 or I=10 or I=11, the receiver MUST discard the block.
"
Note that as described in the draft, if any measurement to these metrics is not available, the value 0xFFFF MUST be reported  

Regards!

I think this is essentially ready, but I did have a quick comments on re-reading the draft:

How is the jitter buffer nominal delay calculated for an interval metric or for a cumulative metric? The draft talks about "the current nominal jitter buffer delay", which makes sense for a sampled metric, but it's not clear how it applies for an interval or as a cumulative metric?

It might also be necessary to clarify the other jitter buffer metrics for the cumulate case.
