James, I want to point to one technical inconsistency when comparing to some versions ago: The specification of the L2 ID sub-option (section 5.1.3.1) refers to a L2-type of 0x00 to indicate the end of a list of L2 IDs. Well, intention was not to transmit multiple L2 IDs in one L2 ID sub-option, rather each L2 ID comes with a single L2 ID sub-option. This makes indication of a list's end with L2-type=0x00 superfluous. Only single L2 ID sub-options support unique correlation of other sub-options' context-id to a single L2-ID. What do you think? I have some editorial comments and send them to you within the next hour. marco
