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.

And as per BCP97, RFC 3967, section 3, this downref was specifically called out in the Last Call for this document.
