Already answered elsewhere.

I believe this was addressed in the other response.  These are new 
authentication types and we're not actually reassigning the "reserved" field.  
Summarizing to be clear in this thread for the future, the form of the existing 
authentication types is copied into the new type and noting that the procedures 
for the existing types are leveraged.

If the following text doesn't carry that implication appropriately, any 
suggested changes to address your concern?
"This document repurposes the "Reserved" field as the "Optimized Authentication 
Mode" field when used for authentication types for optimized BFD procedures."

The key phrase being "... when used for".  Perhaps "for NEW authentication 
types"?

I resolved this by copying the current template verbatim from the referenced 
authors.ietf.org site.
