Subject: [Capwap] Typos in LWAPP

All,
In Section 2.2 on LWAPP State Machine Definition, the transitions (or 
state transitions) have consistently been referred to as "state"s which 
is certainly wrong.
Here is an example:
Discovery to Discovery (b): This is the state the WTP uses to
      determine which AC it wishes to connect to.
b is certainly a transition not a state.

Section is repeated in referring to the section names as in:
section Section 5.2.3.

There is another one on page 89 (Section 11.1.1),
The WTP processes the probe request and responds with a
      corresponding probe response.  The problem request is then
      forwarded to the AC for optional processing.
Shouldn't the problem request be the probe request?
On page 92,
(see section Section 11.7.1.1. 
the paranthesis was not closed.
In Section 11.7.1.1 there is the following sentence:
An AC that wishes to update a
   mobile's policy on an WTP may be done by simply sending a new Add
   Mobile message element.

... (possibly some others).
  A note on the semantics, in Section 11.1 on Split MAC, two terms 
(verbs) that are used, forwards and tunnels with no clear definition in 
Section 3 on LWAPP transport. One possible interpretation is, for 
example, WTP sends an associate request frame as LWAPP Data Frame but AC 
replies with Add Mobile Request which is sent in a control frame.
  Is this correct interpretation? It seems not, because in some other 
parts, LWAPP data frame forwarding is referred to as tunneling.
  If a state machine for a few important aspects were defined, much of 
the ambiguity would be avoided.
  The other candidate protocols, time permitting, but for now, that's it.

Regards,
