Issue

The entries M7 and M8 define the support of BRCB and URCB. The sub-entries define partly the support of OptFlds, but also BufTm, IntgPd and GI. But GI is mandatory. So there should be no choise in M7-10 and M8-8 if GI is supported or not.

Proposal

I suggest to define the sub-entries with "O" for Optional but with "M" for GI for Server. Not sure if this is also valid for Clients?

Also it helps to state "OptFlds" in the comments for all optional fields entries (see attached example).
