1.3: The specification in this document applies to the IPFIX protocol specifications [RFC7011]. I don't think you mean "applies to". I think it should be "is based on" or "depends on", right? 3: Change "SHOULD be used" to "can be used" and "SHOULD use" to "can use". I don't even know what SHOULD could mean in this context. The Observation Domain ID SHOULD be 0 when no specific Observation Domain ID is relevant for the entire IPFIX Message... This disagrees with Section 6. What's the exception to the SHOULD there? Is there a case where it would be non-zero when no specific Observation Domain ID is relevant? Instead of "SHOULD be", how about "is set to"? 4.3: Mediators which generate new Records, as in Section 4.2, SHOULD NOT use values of Information Elements they do not understand. If they do pass such values, they MUST NOT pass values of unknown Information Elements unless all such values are passed on in the original order in which they were received. I can't imagine an exception to that SHOULD NOT. Seems like this should say, "MUST ignore values". The "MUST NOT...unless" construction can be confusing. I suggest changing this to: If a Mediator passes values of Information Elements it does not understand, it MUST pass them in the order in which they were originally received. 5: "...Intermediate Process SHOULD report..." Change "SHOULD" to "will". 8: Maybe someone can explain to me why compliance statements are useful. Then again, probably best to ignore me on that.
