Has there been a response to this? I can not find further e-mails relating to this topic, but I'm sorry if I just missed them. It would be good to get the authors/sponsoring AD to reply before we recommend approving the document.

FWIW, I have read the document and think that the requirements in Section 3 are perhaps more fine-grained that in most requirement documents, but they are not implementation requirements, and hence an informational document is OK from my perspective.

There was quite a lot of discussion of LFSes in the document, but I interpreted them in an abstract sense, i.e., there was no specific suggestions on additions to LFSes.
