[Joel Halpern Direct <[e-mail]>]

Thank you for commenting the the TSRE question.
Let me reprase my question, given the comments...

Given that TSRE is strictly technology and infrastructure specific, why 
is it defined in this document?  Whether we need it or not it seems to 
be outside the scope of this document.

Yours,
Joel
