Hi Shawn,

Thank you for the review and comments.

We’ve fixed the editorial comments you identified.

Regarding “decimal integer” — we use that phrase only when describing the
presentation format (versus, say, hexadecimal) so we think it is appropriate.

However, we would defer to the advice or suggestion of the RFC editor or
other experts on this, if they have an opinion.
