I read it.

I found nothing surprising in it.  I also didn't find anything to disagree
with, but on the other hand, I am not sure I found anything specific that I
could disagree with.

I think it is a nice document, and details some useful network patterns,
so in that, it is very useful.   Are there any other patterns that we missed?
I can't think of any.  I did say that in the Device-to-Device pattern,
that there was some implicit assumption that the wireless network was a
single hop, and had no routers, and therefore devices/manufacturers have to
agree on a layer 1/2.   The ability to route is later mentioned in other
sections.

I would have liked better (cooler...) terms for sections 2.1/2.2./2.3/2.4,
but I don't have any to offer.
