Summary: This draft is ready to be published as Standards Track RFC but I have
some comments.



Nits/editorial comments:

-[Page 4], "the definition of the '"Digest" authentication scheme"--->remove
extra ' before Digest

-[Page 7], not sure about this, since this RFC is a Standards Track, how do we
handle its  dependence on draft: [PRECIS] draft-ietf-precis-saslprepbis-13?
I.e. will we wait for that draft to be RFC first?
