i think this is a good start

i think the draft should focus on automated stitching and more advanced
features like inter-domain recovery and crankback signaling

this said the document points out a very interesting concept of multi-
domain FA (since so far the concept has been detailed in the context of
a single area and TE link) - imho it would be worth reinforcing also 
this part of the document as well, if that was the intention -
