Hello Matt,

I reviewed the draft document again and I have no objections
to the content of the draft.

A minor editorial suggestion would be to clarify the wording
around the cancel event, and explain better how it relates
to the traditional lexicon of "breaking callbacks".

    const AFSCB_Event_Cancel = 1; /* extended */

And later, "the AFSCB_Event_Cancel message is similar to a
traditional AFS callback, breaking the call back promise,
and requesting the client not request further status on the FID."

Do you really mean "similar" here?

Excellent work, and thank you for your effort.

Mike --
