done.  Note that this definition is already published in RFC 8095, but I think 
it’s a minor issue - just easier to read with your fix, and surely not a 
semantic difference, so I did as you suggest.

Done  (replacements as you proposed)

Done

Thanks, fixed

You’re right, and I replaced my item 2) with your text proposal

Done
