Re: RFC 3576bis Comments



Some additional comments on references.  These documents do not include a 
normative reference to RFC 4001, but probably should:

   [RFC4001]  Daniele, M., Haberman, B., Routhier, S., and J.
              Schoenwaelder, "Textual Conventions for Internet Network
              Addresses", RFC 4001, February 2005.
