1) The IANA section does not specify that the assigned port is a TCP port. should it?

For the sake of clarity, I suggest changing "<rpc> end tag" to "</rpc> end tag" in Section 4.2. Why do examples at the end of the Section 5 (top of page 9) contain LF? As far as I can see, those XML documents are not being chunked.

This is updated to add two new comments from the SECDIR review. #1) Sec 3.1: 2nd para, 1st sentence: Should the "must" in the first paragraph be a "MUST"? #2) Sec 4.2: Would any XML decoding error cause termination as stated at the end of 4.2? E.g. some unknown xmlns value or something? #3) If it's worth changing the framing protocol at all, which I'm willing to accept as a given, it is far from obvious to me that the current negotiated upgrade is the right way to do it, as this will require implementation of the old bad mechanism forever. Switching to a new SSH subsystem name seems like a much simpler solution. #4) As a matter of stylistic consistency with the last several decades of Internet protocols, the delimiter sequence in the new framing protocol should have been <CRLF>, not <LF>.

I suspect I am disclosing my lack of netconf clue, but here goes: Why is the example in section 4.2 (chunked encoding) declaring the base1.0 namespace? I thought that base1.1 support is required of both the server and client to use chunked encoding...
