leaving the AH situation unresolved looks fine in the context of having 
a flag to mark each EH as mutable / non-mutable.  No further need to 
bike-shed there.

The rest of the document falls into the category of nuclear power plant 
complexity in terms of direct technical details and downstream 
consequences and applications, but from a helicopter view, it looks 
sensible, thorough and well thought.

Is it ok for a document like this to specify the registration request 
procedure in section 8? This seems a bit like the tail wagging the dog.
