Summary: Ready

Major issues: None

Minor issues: None

Nits/editorial comments:
 - 3 page 6: if a TCP stream itself really supports very long mesages the
  encapsulation used in the document has a lower (but still large) limit
  (2^16 - sizeof(header) - 2).

In general there are all provsions to discourage the use of TCP encapsulation
when something simpler is available. I don't expect they will be strictly
followed in the real world but IMHO you did the maximum for a spec document.
