Summary: Ready with nits.  The XDR specification appears to be a 
superset of the v4.1 XDR specification and combines a correction of the 
five remaining discrepancies between v4.1 and v4.0bis ( definition and 
use of the NFS4_OTHER_SIZE constant, addition and use of the 
ascii_REQUIRED4 type, modification of the typedef of linktext4). The 
additions of the 4.2 interface appears to match the specification in 
draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion2-39 except for two attribute typedef  
items mentioned below.  One discrepancy would have no operational effect 
as the type used in the other draft  is an alias for the type used here 
but the clone_blksize error changes the size of the type.

I have checked that the extracted code is accepted by rpcgen and 
generates files as expected.

Major issues:
None

Minor issues:
None

Nits/editorial comments:
Observation:  It might be useful to note that this XDR specification is 
fully upwards compatible with the v4.0bis with the minor exception of 
the clientaddr4 structure which has been replaced by (strictly, aliased 
to) netaddr4 which has the same members with the same purposes but the 
names have changed (r_netid -> na_r_netid, r_addr ->na_r_addr).  This 
effectively fully reconverges the v4.0bis and v4.1 strands of the XDR.

Line 1145: In draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion2-39 we have typedef length4 
fattr4_space_freed
                     whereas in this draft we 
have                           typedef uint64_t fattr4_space_freed

Line 1149: In draft-ietf-nfsv4-minorversion2-39 we have typedef length4 
fattr4_clone_blksize
                     whereas in this draft we 
have                           typedef uint32_t fattr4_clone_blksize
