Summary: This draft is ready for publication as a Proposed Standard.

Comments:

Because this draft is primarily meant to clone a standard from outside of the IETF, I have essentially nothing to say about the content.  It seems internally consistent, but I cannot compare it to the original.

However, a major goal is to "avoid the development of multiple incompatible standards in this area", and every time you have multiple authoritative copies of something you run the risk of divergence.  It would be great if the protocol specification sections were not published at all and people were referred to the base standard!  That runs into IETF procedural mud, so instead I suggest an explicit statement along the lines of:

  This document is not authoritative on the protocol described.  The
  authoritative document is, and will be, the Trusted Computing Group
  standard [6].

Thoughts?
