In support of Mike's comments, I would also suggest we look at this in the context of the recent agreement that draft-ward-l2isis be the home for all L2 IS-IS extensions. We therefore want to minimize the overlap between the architecture document and draft-ward-l2isis so as to avoid even the appearance of diverging specifications. It may make sense for the architecture document to discuss the required functionality at a high level, but currently there is considerable text which specifies the procedural extensions of an L2-IS-IS instance - and that clearly is the province of draft-ward-l2isis. So in addition to working out the technical issues on points Mike describes below, the architecture document needs to be revised in such a way as to not duplicate or be in conflict with the protocol extensions draft as it develops.
