Draft Number, Full Section, Name

Draft 02, Section 5.2.  Monotonicity and Counters

Current Text:

The following methods SHOULD be employed for single-node UUID implementations that do require batch UUID creation.
Fixed-Length Dedicated Counter Bits (Position A):
Fixed-Length Dedicated Counter Bits (Position B):
Monotonic Random:

Proposed Text:

Implementations SHOULD choose one method for single-node UUID implementations that require batch UUID creation.
Fixed-Length Dedicated Counter Bits (Method 1):
Fixed-Length Dedicated Counter Bits (Method 2):
Monotonic Random (Method 3):

Other Supporting information below:

Current text reads as if all methods should be leveraged when in reality there are two methods and some supporting text about the fixed-length methods.
