Summary: Almost ready
--------

Note - I previously reviewed versions 09 and 11, and my only
comment on them has been fixed.

There's nothing in the technical changes since version 11 that seems
unreasonable. I do, however, worry a bit whether these changes are
backed up by experience with prototype code, given the complexity and the
number of possible contingencies. We don't require running code for 
Proposed Standard status, so I can't make this a 'major issue'.

2.1.  Goals

   The goal of this document is to specify a simple procedure for
   detecting network attachment (Simple DNA) that has the following
   characteristics.
...

   o  False positives are not acceptable.  A host MUST NOT wrongly
      conclude that it has reattached to a previouly visited network.

   o  False negatives are acceptable.  A host MAY fail to identify a
      previously visited link correctly and attempt to acquire fresh
      addressing and configuration information.

In my opinion it is not meaningful to use RFC 2119 keywords in a list
of design goals. The keywords are intended to qualify protocol elements.
The goals quoted above should use lower case.
