I hope you weren't thinking of me. Going through my list of comments,
the majority of items has been taken care of, with some exceptions.
Breakdown below:

- TLV encoding and M flag: not resolved. Discussion on the list resolved
in that we should make sure also morons are forced to split attributes
correctly (choice of words property of the original commenter). Proposed
text from Alan DeKok was: "The More Flag MUST NOT be set if the Length
is less than 255." I suggest to include that line.

- TLV encoding rules: not resolved. I suggest adding two words to the
sentence in question: "The next octet is the Ext-Len field, representing
the length of the entire TLV *in octets*, including ..."

- figure 3: resolved

- figure 4, other encodings possible: not resolved. I suggest adding
"Note that this encoding is only one out of several possibilities since
there is no strict order in attribute marshalling."

- figure 4, diagram: mostly resolved, one thing missed: Integer c of
value 0x12345678 is still depicted in the Value field as 0x12 0x34 0x78
0x56 (twist in the last two segments)

- nitbit in intro: resolved

- nitbit in first example: resolved

- security considerations: resolved

***
New issues with this -05 draft:
***

- figure 3: Ext-Type (cont) is listed as "(0x00" while it is actually
"(0x01)".
