Will respond to you email to Deborah separately.
With regards to your comments here...
This isn't an accademic guessing game - if you have specific constructive
comments along the lines of "requirement xyz as specificed in dogument G.1234
section a.b.c is missing" then please say so. The authors are trying to do their
best and are asking for helpful input.

Ah, OK. No new references. Just a query about whether IPO-ASON is ood.
It may be ood but it also provides relevant IETF b/g.
So it stays for the moment and either it gets republished, or the ref gets
dropped later.

Thanks,
