Parts of it are an education for me.  I have a tendency to think in
terms of hardware interfaces and monolithic agents, and I need to be
reminded from time to time that some problems are a lot more
complicated.

I am certainly open to suggestions for replacement text, if anyone
cares to offer them.  My goal is to get a preliminary version of
the document out to the mreview list later today and to submit a
new I-D next week.  I'll be travelling and out of e-mail contact for
a week starting tomorrow, but I expect to be back on-line by 21
August;  if there is a proposal for something substantially better
by then, it would be great.

Thanks,

Mike
