Ok, it is a nit, as is much of what idnits produces ;-).
I have no problem ignoring idnits on this one ...

Thanks,

Hi, David.  One note on your review:

idnits didn't like the reference to RFC 20 for ASCII:

  ** Downref: Normative reference to an Unknown state RFC: RFC   20

RFC 5234 (ABNF) uses this, which looks like a better reference:

   [US-ASCII]  American National Standards Institute, "Coded Character
               Set -- 7-bit American Standard Code for Information
               Interchange", ANSI X3.4, 1986.

Except that (1) many IETF documents do use RFC 20 and (2) the RFC 20
reference is not for ASCII: it's for RS, the Record Separator
character, which is explained in RFC 20, Section 5.2.
