Hi Hongwei,

>    I just want to check to see if you have any more feedback about the latest update of diagram and text.   If you don't have any more questions, I will close the case regarding Gss_WrapEx with  AES128-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96 in MS-KILE.

The diagram and text look good, maybe add a notice that
- right rotation by (EC+RRC) count - doesn't match the rfc, which says
  right rotation just by RRC count

But please check with Larry if that behavior will stay for the non-dce-style
case in future versions, there were some discussions about making the
EC+RRC "feature" dce-style specific in future versions of windows.
