COMMENT:

- section 5: I'm not sure "revertive" is a useful term
here. Seems to me that it's a) admirably obscure, b) maybe
inaccurate, as we're not reverting to a previous state
here but rather changing paths, and maybe c) it's not
clear if we end up with a "fully functional" path after
"reverting." But maybe it's an accepted term of art in
routing - if so, some reference to where it's well
described might be nice.

- section 8, para 1: this assumes that "managed by network
operator" means "is secure." I think we have examples
where not all that happens within a network is under the
control of the owner of the network, so I question that
assumption. (I'm not now asking for a concrete change as
that'd be a major bit of work, but I am as willing as ever
to continue to call this out as it appears;-) If you could
remove text based on that assumption, that'd improve the
document I think.
