[STDS-802-16] CS Parameter Encodings for the DSC Request



I've run into an issue with the 802.16R5/D4 standard; either it is a obvious
missing element in the standard or I've missed some place where they have
specified it.

Now, the DSC-Request is intended for changing the Service Flow parameters,
my question is around whether those can include the classification rules
associated with it.
The CS Specific Service Flow Encodings Section (11.13.19) has a TLV
specification "Classifier DSC Action" (11.13.19.3.2) which seems to indicate
that you can add/delete/change the classifier rules associated with a DSC.
However, the DSC-Request itself (6.3.2.3.13) does not seem to have an option
for the CS Parameter Encodings, the only TLVs specified within are the
Service Flow Attributes and the HMAC Tuple (11.13 & 11.12).  This does not
make sense to me. Also, the DSC-RESP message has the CS encodings.

My guess is that the CS Parameter Encodings was inadvertently omitted, can
someone confirm/clarify? Thanks in advance,
