RE: RE: Conformance Question

I agree with the summary, but am concerned on re-reading the text.

I'd suggest a couple of minor changes for clarity:


I would recommend we clarify some text elsewhere in the document.
Specifically section 5.2 CRC Calculation. The text that states 

   "(2) only negotiate the non-use of CRC on the explicit request of the
..."

We change to "only attempt to negotiate..."

And a little after this, also in section 5.2 states:

   "If an MPA instance has
   declared that it does not require CRCs, it MUST turn off CRC checking
   immediately after receipt of an MPA mode declaration indicating that
   its peer also does not require CRCs."

Should be changed to say (note that MPA mode declaration is not a
defined term in the spec):

"If an MPA stream has successfully negotiated during the MPA Startup
Phase (see section 6) for CRCs to not be enabled, it MUST turn off CRC
checking immediately after receipt of the first (and only) MPA Startup
Phase Message."
