Thanks for addressing my comments. It looks like there are two outstanding.

   1. ClockInstanceType and
   2. ClockProfileType

It sounds like you intend to address (1) in a future revision.

With regards to (2), I think you misunderstand how the profileIdentifier
works. Please have a look at Section 19.3.3 of IEEE 1588-2008. This is an
EUI-48, not merely an OUI. Organizations can change the bottom 24 bits to
indicate new profiles or revisions of existing ones. Maintaining our own
enumeration of profiles does not seem like a feasible undertaking.
