Subject: DISCUSS and COMMENT: draft-ietf-dime-qos-attributes 

Discuss:
I hope this is a minor Discuss that can be addressed with a clarifying
email.

Section 4.1.8.14 through 4.1.8.23 apply to matching on Ethernet fields.
It is unclear to me what this is doing in an IETF document.
- What happens if the L2 protocol is not Ethernet?
- Have you consulted the owning SDO for Ethernet?

If Ethernet encapsulation really is in scope, perhaps this could be
highlighted in the Abstract and Introduction.

Comment:
Figure 1 and figure 5 have minor alignment problems.

Section 5 says:
   This section illustrates the actions associated with a rule.
But it appears to me that the subsequent subsections *define* the
actions.

It would be really nice if the IANA section named the registries from
which the allocations are to be made.
