I was going to write something similar to what Brian wrote.   This document says it is a problem statement, but then becomes a solution document.   Might be better to cut it down to only the problem statement part.

I also noted as Brian points out that the solution part appears to be dependent on OMNI given the “must” language, but OMNI is an informational reference.   This seems like a disconnect.

At the end of page 13 there is some related discussion, which mentions RPL as part of the solution (good choice, IMHO) but again seems to depend on OMNI. I don't think the fix of simply removing references to OMNI works, because it would leave a gap. In an informational document, that is not a formal problem but as far as this draft describes architecture, I don't think that big a gap is reasonable. "OMNI" is mentioned more than 20 times in the document. There are also several references to AERO, which is strongly associated with OMNI.
