I agree, Jouni, 

we seem to be placing the horses before the cart.
Let us comment out that text for now.

Take care,

Pascal

The discussion on this part has not yet completed in DP design team. I am a bit worried writing this specific part down before we actually know how we are going to implement on the data plane. The above is not, as far as I understand, aligned with the DT progress. To get around the chicken-egg thing here either defer documenting for now or emphasize more that the above is an example.
