    Karl,
    
    thank you for your notification regarding RIPE-210 flaws.  We have
    already identified some other problems, have been discussing those issues
    during the last RIPE meeting and are working on an update of this document.
    Philip Smith has volunteered to specifically cross-check all Cisco related
    stuff therein.
    
    Thanks again and kind regards
    CP
