Hi,

New revision.

Main changes...

- Update the requirements section to reflect those presented
   to us in a liaison from the ITU-T.
- Use an ACH TLV to carry the PID of the payload protocol.

Also fixed some typos and clarified the language.

Several people sent in some more clarifying comments just as I was posting, 
so a new revision will be along soon.

Cheers,
Adrian
