Agree to list [I-D.ietf-softwire-map], [I-D.ietf-softwire-map-t] and 
[I-D.ietf-softwire-lw4over6] as normative references.

We may add a sentence states that “It is an invalid option, if received by 
server, discard.”

Suggest add a sentence states that 
“For the mesh scenario, set the Fflag (It means that BMR is also FMR).
For the hubs&spokes scenario, do not set the Fflag (It means that there is no 
FMR).”

It is the exact match to get the EA-bits. Refer to “Figure 3: MAP IPv6 Address 
Format” in [I-D.ietf-softwire-map].

Agree to unify the terminology. We may add a “Terminology section” similar to 
the ones in [I-D.ietf-softwire-map] (Section 3).
