Re: ID Tracker State Update Notice: draft-ietf-opes-ocp-core

FYI: It looks like we need to wait another IESG telechat cycle since 
Steve Bellovin excersized a "Defer" option to review the latest draft 
changes (published in May). Steve's DISCUSS is the last DISCUSS we 
need to clear.

FWIW, ID Tracker description of "Defer" says that it can only be 
invoked the first time the document comes up for discussion during a 
telechat. Since this is the second telechat for OCP Core, I am 
guessing that the rule applies to each revision of the document.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_state_desc&id=21

There is also a new problem recorded by Bill Fenner (without the 
corresponding DISCUSS): OCP Core syntax cannot be fully expressed 
using ABNF. ABNF cannot express an "n octets" rule where "n" is 
determined dynamically.

Since it is not a DISCUSS, I would leave the BNF "as is" because the 
offending rule is essentially a free-flow comment (from ABNF point of 
view), and we have no better way of expressing this, short of 
extending ABNF.
