[Alia] Sure - I'd tried to trim it down a lot and avoid protocol bashing,
but am happy to remove it.

[Alia] I can certainly understand how that section seems a bit odd.
 However, the topology manager is a key focus point and use-case for I2RS -
and it is important architecturally to clarify the initial scope of I2RS in
the context of that use-case.  Certainly, those are the two reasons that we
put the section in there.  Similarly, we have bits of what might be
info-models to give a sense of what architecturally is in scope.

[Alia] Sure - renamed to "Perform all storing errors"

[Alia] Sure - made the change.

Thanks again,
