Insert MSAP (and it's meaning) into Acronyms and abbreviations section.
Note also that EUI (Ethernet Unique Identifier) and UCD (Upstream Channel 
Descriptor) are commonly used and should also appear in this section.

[Reason for Edit]
MSAP used on page 122, line 57 without a previous definition.

[Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change]
Change MAC primitives at the Convergence Layer access point in such a way as
to support the 3-way handshake protocol defined by the Dynamic Service
Addition and Change operations.

[Reason for Edit]
It seems that the MAC-CREATE-CONNECTION and MAC-CHANGE-CONNECTION primitives
are inadequate for describing the 3-way handshake model used by the Dynamic
Service Requests described in 2.13.7.2.

The Convergence Layer needs to be involved in the decision as to whether an
offered connection as described in the MAC-CREATE-CONNECTION.response is to
be accepted or not and to be able to accept or refuse the connection or
change
using an acknowledgement message.

[Detailed Description of Proposed Insertion, Deletion, Change]
Add parameter to MAC-CREATE-CONNECTION.request in order to identify the
Convergence Layer that will be associated with the connection. This is
required in order to ensure that PDUs received from the wireless side can be
demultiplexed by the MAC and sent to the Convergence Layer component
associated with the connection.  

[Reason for Edit]
It is not clear how the MAC knows which CL to inform. There is no parameter
in
any of the primitives that identifies the CL component issuing a request.
Parameter only required until a connection ID is returned. After that, the 
association between CL and connection ID is known.

The values of Connection Identifiers should be:

Temporary Registration      1..m
Basic CID                   (m+1)..n
Transport CID               (n+1)..0xFDFF

[Reason for Edit]
Incorrectly specified.
