These comments relate to DLSw draft 0.12.

SECTION NUMBER: 5.
SECTION NAME: Capabilities Exchange Formats/Protocol
CURRENT TEXT: none
COMMENT:
Is the capabilities exchange carried as an information field in a DLSw 
Control Message?  If so it would be helpful to state this at the very top of
section 5.  It should also state how the various fields of the control message
are to be filled in, e.g. Data Link ID fields, Circuit ID fields all 0's?
How about the Frame Direction field?  The only legal values for this are 1 and
2 but neither seems appropriate here.
