Hmm, I used the word here and in other parts of the specs assuming that
nominal was a synonym for words like standard, typical, common, and usual.
Looking at my dictionary and thesaurus now I see that's not the case.  As
this is an editorial fix I assume I can deal with it after we receive last
call feedback from the IESG.

The last paragraph of section 3 already addresses this.

Meta-comment: the documents have already been through WG and IETF last call,
so I don't have a lot of freedom to change anything until after we hear from
the IESG.  This feedback is good, but please don't expect new versions of
the documents until some time after IESG commentary is provided - and even
then I have to be careful about what gets changed.
