Hi Charles,

On a procedural point:

This draft does lack a couple of headers:

Updates: 2045 (if approved)
Intended status: Experimental

and equivalent text in its Abstract.

I'd be very surprised if EAI didn't need to update a whole bunch
of earlier standards. The idea of Experimental RFCs updating
standards-track RFCs is a tricky one though. It can't reasonably
be avoided in some cases, but it seems like something that should
be very carefully considered by the IESG, to check operational
compatibility.
