Right after text which describes 32 bit alignement a new paragraph with something like: "TLVs are extensively used in the protocol and the different types of TLVs will be defined in this document. For purposes of future extensibility, an implementation SHOULD ignore any TLVs it does not recognize. It is good practise that a debugging log should be emitted by the implementation to notify of the presence of unknown TLVs." The last sentence may be pushing it a little to put in a standard document. I used the term "debug" to imply it can be turned off. cheers, jamal
