    All,

    Here are my comments on the latest version of the documents:

    =======================================================

    Attributes

    Pg. 6, Other Terminology

          additional spaces in definition for Application

          need to add definition for CorrelationID

    Pg. 6, Acronyms

          Dynamic Host *Configuration* Protocol

    Pg. 7, Rationale

          Remove statement about personal firewalls.

    Pg. 8, Section 4.1

          Will it really be in "Annex x" or a separate document.

    Pg. 9, Attributes

          Need to add the string definitions for Version in Firmware,
    Downloadable Application, and Resident Application.

          References to Numeric Version in [PA-TNC] should be 4.2.3, not 3.2.3.

          References to Port Filter in [PA-TNC] should be 4.2.6, not 3.2.6.

          Do we want to add verbiage to Firewall about only specify open/closed
    ports with assumption that others are closed/open? (Like NEA)

          HCD_Downloadable_Application_Name has: " ... administrative or
    maintenance offline update ..." the word "offline" is out of place.

          Need to "keep together" on HCD_Certification_State

    Pg. 10, Attributes

          HCD_Certification_State : "Since it is being ..." What does this
    mean? Need to remove.

          HCD_Configuration_State: change "...include such items default
    ..." to "... include such items as default ..."

    Pg. 11, Conformance

          Need to add strings for Version and make the string and/or numeric
    conditionally mandatory.

    =======================================================================

    NAP Binding

          Lots of references to "null terminated UTF-8 string" Need to know
    if we need "null terminated"

    Pg. 7, 4.2.2

          Add Compliance result codes (???)

    Pg. 7, SMI

          Bit 24-31 should be set to 0.

    Pg. 8, 4.5.3

          Length = 3 octets, but 32-bit value.

    Pg.8, 4.5.4

          Only blocked or only open, but don't mix them.

    Pg 8, 4.5.5

          Add references to Attributes document.

    Pg. 9, Bits 8 through 32

          Bits are 0-31

    Pg. 10, 4.6.8

          Need to add CorrelationID

    Pg. 11, 4.6.15

          Specify the length is in bits.

    Pg. 12, table

          Renumber Code and rename it Sub-Type Code

    ==========================================================

    Thanks,
