Re: [Technical Errata Reported] RFC3331 (1425)

RFC,

There is nothing the matter with the diagram or text.

All that this change would accomplish would be making the description
for the Signalling Data Terminal Identifier field be the same as the
description for the Signalling Data Link Identifier field, which would
then result in two descriptions for SDLI and none for SDTI.
