Section 6.1, pg. 25 says:

[ second-to-last paragraph, mid-page 25 : ]

   For the reasons mentioned above, this document does not pose any
   restriction on packet sizes.  However, network efficiency
   considerations recommend that the sender uses an as large as possible
   packet payload size, but in such a way that packets do not exceed the
|  network's maximum transmission unit size (MTU), or when fragmentation
   coupled with packet loss might introduce severe inefficiency in the
   transmission.

It should say:

Notes:

Rationale: "or when" does not make proper sense here; "because" does.
