["or" should be "on"]
(as written)
   o RESV: Six bits that MUST be sent as zero and ignored or receipt.

page 22   7. Security Considerations  third paragraph first sentence
['taking" should be "taken"]
(as written)
   On the negative side, the optional ability to tunnel various payload
   types and to tunnel them between TRILL switches and to and from end
   stations can increase risk unless precautions are taking.

page 22 Security Considerations  third paragraph second sentence
[sentence is a bit "run on". I'd at least add a comma if breaking it 
into two sentences doesn't appeal to you.
(as written)
The processing of decapsulating Tunnel Protocol payloads is not a 
good place to be liberal in what you accept as the tunneling facility 
makes it easier for unexpected messages to pop up in unexpected 
places in a TRILL campus due to accidents or the actions of an adversary.

Just a Note::

CCM is defined as Continuity Check Message in other TRILL documents. 
It is defined Counter with CBC-MAC (Cypher Block Chaining - Message 
Authentication Code) in the draft.
