Summary:
The protocol should clarify the sequence number of a writer's first sample. Currently, this is not specified in 8.3.5.4. Rather, it is implied by 8.3.5.5 which states that a sequence number set contains sequence numbers >= 1. The same issue applies for a fragment number.
Resolution:
Explicitly state that the sequence number of a writer's first sample or fragment is 1.
Revised Text:
·	Section 8.3.5.4, first paragraph, append text

Sequence numbers begin at 1.

·	Section 8.3.5.6, first paragraph, append text

Fragment numbers begin at 1.

Resolution: 
Revised Text: ·	Section 8.3.5.4, first paragraph, append text

·	Section 8.3.5.6, first paragraph, append text
