[sfc] NSH MD-1 documents

["Joel M. Halpern" <[e-mail]>]

There have been a number of documents brought forward describing layouts 
of the 16 byte MD-1 metadata for specific situations.  The working group 
has discussed publishing some set of these as informational RFCs.  We 
would like to progress this work.  Without either overloading the 
working group or serving as a rubber stamp for proposals.

As such, would authors of MD-1 proposals that they believe should be 
worked on by the WG please do two things:
1) Refresh your documents, so we know they reflect your current view.
2) Provide an explanation to the WG of why this proposal has 
sufficiently broad applicability to warrant WG effort.  Not just "Data 
Centers are important".  But something that gives the WG members more 
context as to why the document addresses a broad range of cases.  We are 
not looking for detailed use cases, but a summary in email of the key 
points would help folks decide what to read.

Thank you,
Joel and Jim
