### Section 2, paragraph 2
```
     The procedures outlined in this section are applicable only if,
     through means outside the scope of this document, it is established
     that all potential penultimate hop BFRs are capable of supporting PHP
     (i.e., able to remove the BIER header when forwarding to a requesting
     flow overlay router) and that the payload following the BIER header

This paragraph would benefit from the use of RFC2119 language.

### Inclusive language

Found terminology that should be reviewed for inclusivity; see
https://www.rfc-editor.org/part2/#inclusive_language for background and more
guidance:

 * Term `traditional`; alternatives might be `classic`, `classical`, `common`,
   `conventional`, `customary`, `fixed`, `habitual`, `historic`,
   `long-established`, `popular`, `prescribed`, `regular`, `rooted`,
   `time-honored`, `universal`, `widely used`, `widespread`
 * Term `natively`; alternatives might be `built-in`, `fundamental`,
   `ingrained`, `intrinsic`, `original`

## Nits

All comments below are about very minor potential issues that you may choose to
address in some way - or ignore - as you see fit. Some were flagged by
automated tools (via https://github.com/larseggert/ietf-reviewtool), so there
will likely be some false positives. There is no need to let me know what you
did with these suggestions.

### Outdated references

Document references `draft-ietf-bier-idr-extensions-11`, but `-14` is the
latest available revision.
