I agree on the intent.  IMHO, by repeating the text so many times, this universal applicability and common behavior regardless of device got lost.

The cited section numbers were for draft-nishizuka-dots-inter-domain-usecases-01 [aka, ID-UC].  I didn't cite the section numbers for draft-ietf-dots-use-cases-01 [aka, WG-UC].

Ignoring, draft-ietf-dots-use-cases-01, I was trying to understand the difference between use cases #3 and 4 in Section 4.2.1/4.2.2 in draft-nishizuka-dots-inter-domain-usecases-01 [aka, ID-UC]; relative to use case #1 in Section 3.1 of draft-nishizuka-dots-inter-domain-mechanism-00 [aka, IDC-UC].  Are the former two use cases the same as the latter?

Sorry for the confusion.  Let me expand my notation for clarity ...

Use case #5 in Section 4.2.3 of draft-nishizuka-dots-inter-domain-usecases-01 [aka, ID-UC] appears to state that it is identical to use case #2 in Section 3.2 of draft-nishizuka-dots-inter-domain-mechanism-00 [aka, IDC-UC].  Is that correct?
