Scott,

These are my (late) I-D review comments:

I think the last changes to remove specific encoding "additional information" will help a lot for COTS library use.

To the same end, in the last draft there are a couple of uses of SHALL requiring an "indefinite-length array" that I believe should be either made into SHOULD statements or simply turned into informational text. With either change, a trivial bundle could then be constructed as a fixed-size array of blocks.

If you want to make specific SHOULD recommendations about whether or not to use indefinite-length encoding in other places, that may be helpful for implementers. I am actually planning on using indefinite-length encoding for bundle payload data (which in my use case will be 100s of MiB in size) and I see this as a very helpful way to allow stream-based bundle processing.

Thanks for your continuing effort,
Brian S.
