- In section 4, there is much discussion of PExIDs but you have to read
the whole section very carefully to find out what they *are*. I
suggest that the section start with a paragraph that explains that:
A PExID is a 32-bit unsigned integer encoded in network standard byte
order. It is used in an experimental protocol by being prepended to
the protocol's transport data, in front of each separate message or
byte stream. PExIDs MUST be registered in the registry created by
this document.
Hmmm, indeed, why not put that paragraph in the introduction, so someone
reading the introduction can learn what a PExID is, not just the idea?

I also think a possibly slightly "thinner" version of the above text
would be a really nice addition as a part of the intro, where the PExID
is first mentioned!
I'd also encourage this to provide an expansion of the PExID term when
it is first used.
... although, I think the current text probably needs to remain describe
the normative requirements presented in section 4.
Best wishes,
