Miika, thank you for checking this.

This leaves one open issue, regarding the clarifications to HIT_SUITE_LIST. I originally put a diff proposal here:

http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/hip/trac/attachment/ticket/51/rfc5201-bis-19-to-20-pre.diff

This proposal drew one review on the list from Rene, who suggested the following:

1) swap the encoding of the HIT Suite IDs to use the lower four-order bits instead of the higher four-order bits

2) fix an editorial reference to “HMAC parameter” -> “HIP_MAC and HIP_MAC_2 parameters” (or RHASH function).

3) change one of the proposed 'should' words to 'SHOULD'

While I am sympathetic to Rene's argument in 1), no one else has supported this change on the list, so given the late stage of this document, I would suggest to keep the encoding as is. The changes proposed in 2) and 3) are editorial, in my view, so I don't see a problem to accept them.

I regenerated the diff according to Rene's suggestions, and posted it here:

http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/hip/trac/attachment/ticket/51/rfc5201-bis-19-to-20-pre-2.diff

So in summary, I would like to now convey to our AD that we have a diff to the version -19 draft that is editorial/clarification in nature, and ask whether and how it can be handled procedurally, such as:

- publish a -20 and revisit some of the reviews (since version -19 was officially reviewed and approved, I don't know what it means to now post a -20 version)
- avoid publishing a -20 and handle these changes similar to AUTH48 changes
- scrap the diff and just publish version -19

Our AD can let us know how he prefers to handle it.

- Tom
