I have no objection to the publication of this document, and just two small issues you could look at as you progress the document. --- Section 3 is titled "Flag Bits: A Recommendation" however, the text is clear in its use of "MUST" and this a Standards Track document. I think you should change the title to "Flag Bits: New Processing Rules" Furthermore, in Section 1, you should not refer to this as a recommendation. --- In Section 4 you have text referring to ff1 such as: X and Y may each be set to 0 or 1. ... but no indication as to how or why these bits might be set. Are they or some specific use? Are they reserved like the r bits in ff2? Adding some clue or reference would be good.

-- Section 4.1.1 -- X and Y may each be set to 0 or 1. What does this addition mean? What, specifically, is the change it's making? I'd like to know the answer; more importantly, I think the document needs to be clear about it. (And the same goes for the similar lines in Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2.)
