[ipcdn] pktcRingCadence explanation changed from sig-draft-5 to sig-draft-7



Hi,
 I have a question on ring cadence repeatable characteristics.
The IETF draft-5 has the description for pktcRingCadnece as below:

PktcRingCadence   ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
       STATUS        current
       DESCRIPTION
           " 
             This object represents a ring cadence and repeatable
             Characteristics in a bit string format. The first two
             octets of the bit string represent the length in bits of
             the duration of the cadence (i.e., the number of bits that
             follow the third octet). The third octet is used to
             represent repeatable characteristics. 00000000 means
             repeatable, and 10000000 means non repeatable.
Each bit
             after the third octet represents 50 ms and 1 represents
             ring and 0 represents silent. The first bit of the fourth
             octet is the first bit of the ring cadence. All bits are
             counted in network order such that the octet with only the
             first bit set will look like 10000000 bit sequence. A
             total of 264 bits can be set to represent 13200 ms of
             total cadence cycle. There will be at most 3 on/off
             transitions per cadence period."
       SYNTAX  OCTET STRING (SIZE(4..36))

But the draft-7 has

            This object provides an encoding scheme for ring 
            cadences, including repeatability characteristics. All  
            fields in this object MUST be encoded in network-byte 
            order.

            The first three higher order octets are reserved. The 
            octets that follow are used to encode a 'bit-string', with 
            each bit corresponding to 50 milliseconds. A bit value of 
            '1' indicates the presence of a ring-tone and a bit value 
            of '0' indicates the absence of a ring-tone, for that 
            duration (50 ms) (Note: A minimum number of octets 
            required to encode the bit-string MUST be used).
  
            The first two of the reserved octets MUST indicate the 
            length of the encoded cadence (in bits) and MUST range 
            between 1 and 264. (Note: The length in bits MUST also be 
            consistent with the number of octets that encode the 
            cadence). The MTA MUST ignore any unused bits in the last 
            octet, but MUST reflect the value as provided on 
            subsequent SNMP GETs.
  
            The third of the reserved octets indicates 'repeatability' 
            and MUST be either 0x80 or 0x00 - the former value 
            indicating 'repeatability' and the latter indicating 'non-
            repeatability'
.
  
            The MTA MUST reject attempts to set a value that violates 
            any of the above requirements" 
          SYNTAX  OCTET STRING (SIZE(4..36)) 
   
My question here is the item marked in RED is changed from draft-5 to draft-7. Is it a typo or the intended changes?? 0x80 is changed from non-repeatable(draft-5) to repeatable(draft-7)!!!!
