Yes indeed. Everybody in the WG had ample time to propose a fix to these 
words. We are now past WG Last Call and past IETF Last Call.

We addressed comments we got from the Area Director (Alex) and an 
Application Area reviewer.

Next, we will have to work on addressing comments from the IESG, if any. 
If we start fixing our own text again, where there are no comments from 
the relevant parties, that may be seen as a sign that we think we are 
not yet done. But I hope nobody wants to go back to WG Last Call.

Regards,   Martin.

P.S.: I hope the RFC Editor will change

   (which, by definition provide no new information)

to

   (which, by definition, provide no new information)

or

   (which by definition provide no new information)

Editors, please put this on your list of things you may want to look at 
during the AUTH48 stage.
