Does it? I'm not saying it definitely doesn't but I'm not seeing the need. It's just an identifier. If you aren't implementing or using a snac router, do you actually care what the acronym stands for?

<tp>
Fine if you know what a SNAC is but it is something I have not taken any notice of until Bob's post which made me think perhaps I ought to look it up and find out and then found that the Abstract and Introduction asssumed I knew what it was - which I did not.   I note that the original I-D did not use SNAC in its title, that was a later Introduction on adoption.  I suspect that the editors will call for an expansion but am content to leave it and see what happens!

Any additional comments?


<tp>

Does 'SNAC' need expanding in either the Title or Abstract or both?  I suspect that it does at this point in time.
