Ok, please include some of that in the document.

Yes, you’re right.  When I looked into it I didn’t notice the difference 
between attributes and elements.  ☹



I’ll go ahead and start the IETF Last Call.

If it is not illegal, what should the child do?



In Section 5 you hinted at the fact that Bob could choose.  Please make that 
clear – it would also be a good idea to include some of the considerations that 
may come into play when deciding.



Thanks!
