I fixed this in the intro with a slightly thinner version as noted.
Please check and let me know if it is sufficient. It’s in the newly posted -11 version.

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.
Hmmm, indeed, why not put that paragraph in the introduction, so someone
reading the introduction can learn what a PExID is, not just the idea?

I also think a possibly slightly "thinner" version of the above
text would be a really nice addition as a part of the intro, where
the PExID is first mentioned! I'd also encourage this to provide an expansion of the PExID term when it is
first used. ... although, I think the current text probably needs to remain
describe the normative requirements presented in section 4. Best wishes, Gorry
