makes sense.

splitting the current alto-cdn document makes sense to me and we
need to define:
a. use cases
b. requirements
c. proposed solutions

your draft addresses the use cases and you may want to merge the
use cases sections we currently have in the alto-cdn draft so to
focus that one only on the proposed solution(s).

The question is about requirements: do we want to include them
in one of the two drafts or into a separate document ?
