Summary:
This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits that
should be fixed before publication.

Comments:
This is a draft explaining how to extend Path Computation
Elements to perform global path optimization.  It's strictly
a communication protocol draft; the actual algorithm and
techniques used to perform the path optimization are independent
of the communication to request the optimization and receive
the results.

I am concerned about Section 6.2's recommendation for MIB
extension work.  Is the work to extend the MIB underway?  How
important is that MIB extension to manageability (hence
usability in practice) of this protocol?

The following items are all minor, but should be dealt with:

p.5, last paragraph, 3rd line:
        "wheres this ID" --> "whereas this ID"

p.6, 3rd line of PCECP definition:
        "requests a PCC" --> "requests from a PCC"

p.8, 1st new paragraph, 4th line
        "in which to compute" --> "that computes"

The above items suggest that a careful proofreading of the entire
draft would be a good idea.

Section 5.3 defines two new bits in the RP object.  The
bit numbers should be included in this section in addition to
including them in the IANA Considerations section.

Section 5.5: Please explain what the "Optional TLV(s)" are
in Figure 3.
