Updated version attached, incorporating comments from Yair and Chad.

With regard to the ‘connected to a Type 4, Class 8 PSE’ I have used different wording which I think better explains the intent.
Saying Type 4 / Class 8 is factually incorrect. What we mean to say is that it takes up to 3 class events to really discover the requested Class of the PD.

Kind regards,

Lennart

Mutual ID is the term we invented for AT and I think it is appropriate to keep it in BT.

Additionally, classification is used to establish mutual identification between the PSE and the PD to discover each others’ Type.

This text:

The requested Class of the PD is the Class the PD advertises during Physical Layer classification, and represents the maximum power, as defined in Table 145–24 and Table 145–25, that a PD shall draw across all input voltages.

I had a similar comment and I agree with what you did here but I think you deleted a relevant piece of information: “The requested Class of the PD is the Class a PD advertises during Physical Layer classification when connected to a Type 4, Class 8 PSE;”. The ‘connected to a Type 4, Class 8 PSE’ phrase struck me as odd at first but then it became clear that this is a way of saying request the max power on the physical layer. I think it is important to leave in. So I would say add the phrase “when connected to a Type 4, Class 8 PSE” back to your sentence.

Hello,

We saw significant changes to the PD classification text due to the Clause split, on top of a nice cleanup action by Heath adopted in January.

Some rectification and further cleanup attached.

Comments welcomed.

Kind regards,

Lennart
