	Discussed in some detail in Section 3.3.1 (as Elwyn pointed out).

Thanks.

sections.
	 
	References for <Path Jitter> are [RFC3393], [Y.1540], [Y.1541], as
given in Section 3.3.2.
	Reference for <Path PLR> is [Y.1541], as given in Section 3.3.2.
	Reference for <Path PER> is [Y.1541], as given in Section 3.3.2.
	 
	These references should also be added to the headings of Sections
5.2.4, 5.2.5, and 5.2.6, respectively.

Thanks.

	The computation of Path Jitter is discussed in [Y.1541], including
numerical examples.  
    Perhaps Al Morton (editor of [Y.1541]) can provide explanatory text to
add to the QSPEC document.

Thanks.

	I agree with Elwyn that the QSPEC DSTE Class Type parameter should
be aligned with RFC 4124.  It also appears that an IANA registry is not
needed since none is defined in RFC 4124.

I deleted the IANA registry from the DIME document and aligned the parameter
encoding with the one described in RFC 4124. 

Ciao
