While I agree that some parts of the doc could possibly be a bit 
shorter, I still think the document is about the right length.  The 
main meat is about 15 pages.  The question at this point is, I guess, 
whether all the appendices are useful enough.  At least the text in 
the main body is required when a reader starts to think "but, I really 
want to block [foo].  Why shouldn't I just go ahead and do so?"

That said, maybe it wouldn't hurt to put some conclusions to the 
abstract, introduction, a new section or call them out more explicitly 
from the existing text.
