I discussed posting this last-minute update with the NETCONF chairs
before.  It's not a big change, the diffs show best, but the changes
include:

  * Changed title to "NETCONF Call Home using SSH"
    [This sounds better, esp. when considering other transports]

  * Changed "MUST" to "SHOULD" in the Applicability Statement.
    [this addresses Andy and Benoit's comments from London]


  * Revised the Abstract and Introduction to better explain what the
    document regards.
    [now better targets use-case being addressed]

  * Added a "Draft Naming" section explaining why, despite its name,
    reversing SSH is nowhere in the text
    [this section can be deleted when/if draft promoted to RFC]

  * Added PGP keys as another kind of SSH host key encoding identity
    and signed by a trust anchor.
    [to underscore that X.509 isn't the only solution avail]

  * Revised the Device Considerations section to more clearly explain
    why a device configuration data model is out of scope, and hence
    an Informative reference.

  * Clarified Security Considerations section on use of serial
    numbers.



Thanks,
Kent
