Hi Frank,

Mea maxima culpa. Your -13 review below was probably overlooked by me
when integrating all received feeedbac from -13 into 14/15/16, although
it looks more as if i did fix most of the stuff from your review but then
forgot to send a reply.


This is integretated into -17, i didn't push a new version up, but
you can check it at:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anima-wg/autonomic-control-plane/master/draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane/draft-ietf-anima-autonomic-control-plane-17.txt

Replies inline below

Cheers

Was fixed n -16.

Fixed.

Hmm.. checked -13 and -16 but could not find anything besides:

(-16) A.3.3.2 mDNS and ...
  This starts with small letter because "mDNS" is a unique name with a lower letter,
  i think this is correct. If we're unsure, RFC editor would be best to resolve later on.
(-16) Titles are all draft names and this section will be removed anyhow for RFC.

What change do you suggest, looks identical ?

Done in -16.

Done in -16.

Hmm.. Didn't want to reiterate too much text that is already written out
in the document, but instead inserted a reference to section 9.2 into the
security section.
