Hi Matt, Yuchung, Nandita,

The heuristic to switch between PRR-CRB and PRR-SSRB is only mentioned
in section 1 (intro to bis).

Perhaps the actual pseudocode and text in secion 4 (algo) should also be
expanded to contain this.

 From an implementers viewpoint, the paragraph about the heuristic (as
well as my conversation with Matt about this) left me wondering, if this
needs additional state, or how to achive this (e.g. tracking changes to
the SACK scoreboard - if an additional "hole" got accounted even when
snd.una advances, for example.

one nit: In the para for the definition of "SACKd", there is one
instance where the "SACK blocks" got changed to "sack blocks". Its the
only instance of lowercase SACK.

Best regards,
    Richard
