Thanks!
> Do you think that the proposed "local heuristics" approach will be a generally acceptable method to apply when the proposed attributes are not present? I am aware that it is most likely what will have to be done, but is it acceptable to refer to it in an Internet Draft, or need it somehow be more elaborate?
My personal opinion is that the more our internet-drafts reflect 
reality, the better off we are....

It is not an area in which I am expert, but I would think that people 
who do SBCs for a living are the best people to turn to for advice on 
how to describe what needs to be done here - and whether it is at all 
helpful to have these local heuristics described in an I-D.
