building on Tim and Pat's drafts. It adds details and tables for
recording the results. RAMS testing and multiple configuration servers are the
only sections currently missing. I think the multiple iterations listed
should cover most useful permutations of the main AMS functionality, though I'm
sure there's room for improvement. </FONT></FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=148043717-16092008>I think I found a
small discrepancy in the spec, section 2.3.5. It states "[the node]
re-queries the configuration server to determine the new network location of the
registrar and resumes exchanging heartbeats." This doesn't reflect the
fact that the node also needs to issue a 'reconnect' first. I think it
should be changed to something like: "...and continues with the reconnection
procedures prior to resuming heartbeat exchange."</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=148043717-16092008>Organizationally in
the Red Book, I think the "Conformance Classes" and the new "Service conformance
Statement" chapters should be consecutive, ie: swap chapters 7 and 8. It
doesn't necessarily matter, but the MIB chapter simply seems misplaced stuck in
between the two conformance sections. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
