>From the draft, last paragraph of section 7:

"The direction in which this evolves could have significant
implications on the way the Internet architecture develops. It exposes
a risk that significant actors (e.g., developers and transport
designers) achieve more control of the way in which the Internet
architecture develops. ..."

I think this paragraph is very subjective and provides little basis
for its conclusions. The statement that "signifcant actors achieve
more control" over Internet architecture, with explicit mention of
developers and transport designers, seems provocative. It's also
ironic considering these this is a discussion about the transport
layer and per the Internet architecture the transport layer is E2E and
supposed to be transparent to the network.

I suggest that this paragraph could be simply removed without loss of
content in the draft.
