Bert,

  It is indeed that document.
  
  I don't think it should be published until CCAMP is done
  with the inter-area TE topic and its documents have been
  published as STD. After that publishing Suresh'es approach
  as EXP or INFO should be fine.

  I actually had a chance to explain this to Suresh in SF.
