This isn't actually a DSN (is it)?  Perhaps "Similar to Section 2 of [DSN} 
..." instead of "Per Section 2 of [DSN] ..."?

Fixed locally.  Thanks.

Sure.  Done locally.  I notice in your draft you use two styles for the ABNF 
specification:

rep-ra-tag = %x72.61
spf-rp-tag = %x72 %x69

The SPF draft uses the latter format.  Is one of these preferred?  I suspect 
it would be better to pick one form and stick with it over using two (I'm not 
an ABNF expert at all, so please advise).
