Done.

Waiting to see if there are other comments on the MUST/SHOULD markers.

Done.

Done.

Plan to; want to see if there are other comments.

Done.

Done.  I used [port] instead of ". port".

Done.

Currently leaning towards <em>SHOULD</em> instead of <small>...</small>, due to concerns about what <small> might do, but I'm curious what others say.
