FYI: It looks like we need to wait another IESG telechat cycle since
Steve Bellovin excersized a "Defer" option to review the latest draft
changes (published in May). Steve's DISCUSS is the last DISCUSS we
need to clear.
FWIW, ID Tracker description of "Defer" says that it can only be
invoked the first time the document comes up for discussion during a
telechat. Since this is the second telechat for OCP Core, I am
guessing that the rule applies to each revision of the document.

There is also a new problem recorded by Bill Fenner (without the
corresponding DISCUSS): OCP Core syntax cannot be fully expressed
using ABNF. ABNF cannot express an "n octets" rule where "n" is
determined dynamically.
Since it is not a DISCUSS, I would leave the BNF "as is" because the
offending rule is essentially a free-flow comment (from ABNF point of
view), and we have no better way of expressing this, short of
extending ABNF.
