[Ace] AIF as discussed today (Re: I-D Action: draft-bormann-core-ace-aif-08.txt)

I went ahead and quickly implemented what we had discussed today.

https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-bormann-core-ace-aif-08.html

Lots more editing to do, but the gist of what I was trying to say should be there.
Comments welcome!

Grüße, Carsten
