Subject: More IANA considerations

Small Point....

Under IANA Considerations, Section 13.2 "Error Codes":

"4. Error numbers registered by recognized standards bodies shall have 3 or
4 character error numbers.
 5. Error numbers registered by all other organizations or individuals shall
have 4 character error numbers."

But the ABNF in Annex B shows error codes to be no more than 3 digits:
 "ErrorCode            = 1*3(DIGIT) ; could be extended"

While the ASN.1 specification shows:
"ErrorCode ::= INTEGER(0..65535)
-- See section 13 for IANA considerations w.r.t. error codes"

I would think that the ABNF for ErrorCode should be redefined to UINT16.
