I think that the point of this document is to register five claims:
   MPS, LEM, PCR,  FMA,  HSH

I guess that I would expect to find a section on each claim?

While the Introduction has been simplified a bit.
There are four paragraphs in the Introduction, some points, and a closing paragraph:
      -(*) posture automation
      - CIS
      - TPM/boot/NIST
      -(*) PCR values + EAT
      - some things to measure
      - policy/conclusion

I see how (*) relate to section 2's claims, but the rest I still find
irrelevant.  If I skip those paragraphs, then I find that I've lost nothing.

Note that I am in favour of adopting documents early: as soon as the problem
statement has been clearly articulated. I would support adoption of this
document.    {I'm not sure what criteria this WG is using}

I'd also like to understand how this document interacts with the many other
desktop TPM systems out there... the whole SACM/PA-TNC and related NEA works.
It feels like a reset-to-blank, start over again.  (I'm not opposed to that)
