Bas - regarding the following, the lines in RFC 5912 are already outdented (see 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5912.txt, p17).  The lines in RFC 5912 are 
actually outdented 3 additional spaces; we are unable to make them match with 
our current tools.

Please review and let us know if any further updates are needed or if you
