This document has been reviewed as part of the transport area review team's
ongoing effort to review key IETF documents. These comments were written

The sixth step in the algorithm described in Section 4.2 is ambiguous in my
view:

Otherwise, sleep until the Retry-After period has passed, or until the next
normal wake time, and return to Step 1.

Assume the Retry-After period is 6 hours (21600 seconds) as stated in the
example and assume that the normal wake time is 1 second. Depending on how the
sixth rule is interpreted, the client might retry in 6 hours or in one second.
Choosing the 1 second results in sending 21600 requests in 6 hours instead of
one. Therefore I think it makes sense to be more specific here such that you
send only one request...

There is one typo in Section 4.2:
regulatory enviornment -> regulatory environment
