At the least, two things need to be fixed in this I-D:

- The introduction includes

   This document reserves user ports for experimentation and describes
   the use of experiment identifiers to differentiate shared use of
   these ports for concurrent experiments. This document also creates a
   PExID registry, in addition to the IANA service names and ports
   registry [SP-reg], to reduce the potential that experimental uses of
   PExIDs that could be tested in the public Internet might interfere
   with each other.

However the first use of "experiment identifiers" is not bound to the
latter use of "PExID".  You want to say "the use of experiment
identifiers (PExIDs)".

- In section 4, there is much discussion of PExIDs but you have to read
  the whole section very carefully to find out what they *are*.  I
  suggest that the section start with a paragraph that explains that:

   A PExID is a 32-bit unsigned integer encoded in network standard byte
   order.  It is used in an experimental protocol by being prepended to
   the protocol's transport data, in front of each separate message or
   byte stream.  PExIDs MUST be registered in the registry created by
   this document.
