Summary:

Ready with one minor issue to be discussed.

A very clear, well written, nicely organized document.

Major issues:

Minor issues:

1. The tables in Sections 7.6, 7.7, 7.8 state that all undefined values in the
registries start immediately after the values defined by this document with
'Reserved for Private and Experimental Use'. What about future extensions in
future versions of the document? Would not it be better to leave a range for
future extensions and start the values for private and experimental use farther
in the total spaces?

Nits/editorial comments:

1. In the (very useful) Appendix A for Terms and Abbreviations, there are a few
abbreviations usually considered part of the shared basis terms in IETF
documents (like TCP, UDP, IANA, ...)
