The third paragraph under section 2.1 (Differentiated Services Code Point
AVP) of this draft reads:

"The presence of this AVP in the ICRQ or OCRQ indicates that the tunnel
initiator wishes to use a specific DSCP on all data packets.  However, the
value found in the ICRP or OCRP indicate the value which the Tunnel
Terminator is willing to accept."

Shouldn't it say *session initiator* and *session terminator*?  ICRQ and
OCRQ are call/session related.  And even the paragraph above the reproduced
one identifies the AVP with the specific session ("...all packets related to
the data channel associated with the Tunnel and Call Identifiers in the L2TP
header").
