Hi Ray,

It is helpful if the draft name is spelled right in the WGLC.
draft-ietf-homenet-arch-08 but a search for homenet-arch is fine.

A lot of progress has been made in the last year or so.  Quite a few
issues remain open in that there is no solution recommended in
homenet-arch, or multiple solutions are recommended primarily because
downselection has not occurred.  Examples of the former is "routing
functionality" and service discovery beyond the subnet, and "domain
discovery".  Examples of the latter is address allocation, prefix
delegation.

BTW- Naming used to cite draft-mglt-homenet-naming-delegation and
draft-mglt-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation and I'm not sure why
those citations were dropped, unless they are now abandonned (they are
both expired).

The point is that though this framework has tremedously improved
(though it still cited mDNS and entertains the possibility of multiple
zeroconf name services plus DNS :), there is a ways to go.  Hopefully
this draft can remain a living document rather than freeze it
prematurely by moving it to the IESG and trying to get premature RFC
status.

On many issues the WG has converged in the last year or so, yet IMHO
too many remain open.
