Missing column for ptlen in Section 2.3 of Symmetric Sub-spec

[Kritner]

At one point could table 2.3 have referenced the Column Payload as Payload/PT length ? If it wasn't there, I know I have seen the two used interchangeably elsewhere - though it may have been CAVS itself, not the spec, I don't recall.

Ok, I see what you are saying. I was just scanning for PT and missed Payload. Maybe consistent terminology would be beneficial?

I looked at the table in Section 2.2 and think that one cosmetic change may be helpful: increase the width of the first and second columns a bit at the expense of the last column. This could resolve the issue with chopping off keyingOption at the last letter and similarly for Prerequisite. xml2rfc allows manipulating the relative width of columns like:

Column1
Column2
Column3
Column4
Column5

I am not sure these numbers are the best but one could start with them.

[atvassilev]

Oops, it looks like the web edit interface stripped off all of my xml. Bummer, does anyone know how to work around this?

[celic]

Try placing your code inside back ticks `

This uses the "code" interface to make it look like...

<table>Column1</table>

[atvassilev]

@celic thanks.

Here is what I meant to provide as example:
'Column1'
'Column2'
'Column3'
'Column4'
'Column5'

[atvassilev]

Wow, still no luck...

[celic]

Sorry, it is a back tick. Same button as ~ but without holding shift. It is a rather obscure character on a keyboard.

[atvassilev]

Ah OK,

<ttcol align="left" width="23%">Column1</ttcol>
<ttcol align="left" width="22%">Column2</ttcol>
<ttcol align="left" width="20%">Column2</ttcol>
<ttcol align="left" width="20%">Column2</ttcol>
<ttcol align="left" width="15%">Column2</ttcol>

Again these are just suggested numbers not necessarily the solution.

I'll be happy to change payload to ptLen in the table 2.3, but I'm failing to see and issue with table 2.2 sizing. KeyingOption fits perfectly when displayed with Chrome.
