Hi Carsten, 

This new version takes into account your review. More details are provided below: 

# Major

1. Is adding a hop-limit option now a recommendation that applies to
   all CoAP proxies?

The text is updated to clarify the scope, that is "CoAP proxies which understand the hop limit option". No "SHOULD deploy" level statement is included; such statement may be considered in future BCPs. 

2. I don't understand the rule about using cached copies.  As a
   general observation, rules like this should not simply be stated
   without a rationale why they are the way they are.

Added a clarification text which basically points to 5.6 of 7252.

# Minor

1. The text could include a sentence about what happens when a proxy
   does not understand the option (nothing bad, but loops consisting
   entirely of such proxies will not be terminated).

Added NEW text to describe the implications. 

2. The way the diagnostic payloads are formed seems to rely on a space
   separator, but does not exclude its use inside the separated items.

Added a NEW sentence to call out this. 

# Editorial

1. The terminology could be aligned some more (e.g., avoid "agent",
   use "request" or "response" instead of "message" where
   possible). Details in the editorial comments.

All your edits were implemented. 

Cheers,
Med

> Abstract:
>    The presence of Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) proxies may
>    lead to infinite forwarding loops, which is undesirable.  To prevent
>    and detect such loops, this document specifies the Hop-Limit CoAP
>    option.
