Vendor IDs and reserved values
Hi again. Section 3.12 says:
If parameter values "reserved for use by consenting parties" are
used, they must be preceded by a Vendor ID payload that disambiguates
them.
This will hinder interoperability. Given that Vendor IDs are also
"reserved for use by consenting parties", this requirement doesn't
make sense. A private value is a private value: the two sides have
already agreed to what it means. Sending a private Vendor ID doesn't
add any information, and is another place where a failure can happen.
This sentence should be removed.
