This is useful, thanks for writing it down. 

I am not sure what the term "challenged network" really buys us. I did
not see the term "challenged network" actually used in RFC4838, but I
do understand that the DTN community used this term. My preference
would be to move the three bullets currently in 2.2.1 up to section
2.2. and to collapse 2.2.1 into a note that simply explains that the
term "challenged network" has been used for a certain subset of
constrained networks as part of the DTN work.
