Summary: Ready with nits

Major issues: none.

Minor issues:



* The intoduction mentions that the block transfwer can be used for 


random access. This is not separately described anywhere in the 


documents. Although the operation is more or less trivial I would 


appreciate an example or some text there because the Block2 overloads 


the NUM value 0 with special meaning (for the cases where the first ever 


accessed block is not the block number 0).




Nits/editorial comments:



* There are few issues with capitalization (e.g., section vs Section), 


which I believe the RFC Editor will handle without me pointing at them.






* The document has a tendency of using long portions of text inside 


braces, sometimes even in a middle of a paragraph. I would strongly 


suggest either making those part of the normal text flow or a separate 


(intended) editor's note if they for some reason cannot be part of the 


normal text flow.
