So, after this has been done and has even spawned some feedback (yay!), I've
put together a suggestion to incorporate extension types, as well as having
DEFAULT_METRIC_TYPE be of value 0 and always set, as suggested by Henning.
Since most of the draft is not 5444-specific, I mostly had to update section 10
and the algorithms. Before I post anything to the list, I thought I'd share
with you folks in case I messed up something in the algorithms section or
anything is unclear.
I know Dallas is close, but in case somebody can find some time...
Cheers,
Lotte
