      Description

      From Steve Huston's review:

      Part 1, sect 2.1: "two's-complement" and "signed" seem to be used
      interchangeably but they're not equivalent. Using both terms leaves open
      the question of why, and casts doubt about what "signed" means (does it
      mean 1's-complement?) Recommend specifying signed integer types as
      "signed" and specify in the last sentence of section 2 (before section
      2.1) that signed integer values are transmitted using two's-complement
      representation, in network byte order.
