> Section 3: In the Request Authenticator description the two paragraphs repeat that Request Authentication SHOULD be unpredictable and then says why. Maybe the second paragraph should be tweaked:
>
> The Request Authenticator value in a Status-Server packet
> SHOULD also be unpredictable **because** an attacker **could**
> trick a server

> response to masquerade as that server to a future Status-Server
> request from a client.
