Hello folks,

Attached, please find a file containing more specific editorial 
suggestions and observations, along with a rfcdiff-generated file that 
highlights the differences from the current version of 
draft-ietf-intarea-gue.

I am not expert in some areas that are important for this draft, and I 
did not read the companion documents that were cited.  I will appreciate 
any further discussion to help my understanding on those points, and 
will be happy to have further interaction on any of the suggestions that 
I have made.

Regards,
Charlie P.
