Should we remove this paragraph and let the scope of the discovery be 
worked out in another document (tun-auto-disc)?

This would then read:


4.5  Service Discovery

  In order to facilitate deployment, the implementation should allow a
  mechanism to discover the address of the server that will provide the
  tunnel connectivity.

  Tunnel end-point discovery mechanism work
  ([I-D.palet-v6ops-tun-auto-disc] is applicable here.
