Re: [alto] New draft on use cases for ALTO & CDNs

["Bitar, Nabil N" <[e-mail]>]

Hi,
Consolidating the use cases in one document is a good suggestion and it is naturally needed.
However, I feel having the requirements in the same document as the use cases provides better context to the requirements in one document.
If the consensus is to separate the two, it is fine too. I has been done both ways.

Thanks,
Nabil

This sounds great to me.
