As far as I can tell, the document could use signifiantly more clarity 
on the problem to be solved, and the information modeling gaps that 
appear to exist, and much less (maybe none) discussion of why a new 
protocol is needed.  It seems to me that the descriptions of existing 
protocols tend to be based on assumptions that are not borne out by the 
rest of the document.

As an example, the assumption that the solution must be some form of 
streaming (whatever that means) is not grounded in the document.

Yours,
Joel M. Halpern
