It does contain a problem statement. And I think it would be nice if the
problem statement could highlight, at a high-level, the possible ways to
address the problem. The current document does elaborate quite a bit on
some of them. Such parts could be removed and put into a separate
document, though.

Exactly. THe original draft had *everything* in the document, including
protocol updates. THis one has limited to the problem statement plus
operational mitigations. Maybe the text that gets too specific (.e.g the
CPE behavior could be removed and made into a stand alone document).

THoughts?
