Nits/editorial comments:
    Section 5.2.1 defining the PLEA Control Word describes two pairs of bits, one pair called RSSV and described in the usual way for describing reserved bits.  A second pair is called FRG and is described more teresely but appears to be simply more reserved bits.   It is unclear why these two fields are separated, and why the wording is slightly different between them.

    Section 6 desccribes the basic payload and the byte aligned payload.  The description makes it look like there are two different forms.  Thinking about it, the payload is always in bytes, so the sender will fill bits from the source until it has filled the fixed number of bytes.  SO what is the difference between 6.1 and 6.2?
