Draft Number, Full Section, Name

Draft 04, Section 5.3 UUID Version 8
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format-03

Current Text:

                The only explicitly defined bits are the Version and Variant leaving 120 bits
                for implementation specific time-based UUIDs.

Proposed Text:

                The only explicitly defined bits are the Version and Variant leaving 122 bits
                for implementation specific UUIDs.

---

Other Supporting information below:

Changed the number of bits from 120 to 122 and removed "time-based" since vendor-specific UUIDs don't have to be time-based necessarily.
