For now I still would say that the discussion of a specific use case
without protocol specification (i.e., gap analysis for existing
protocols, things to consider, special parameters to use, etc.) should
go into the deployment considerations document.  We created this
document exactly for that kind of information.  The specification of a
different solution approach should go into a separate draft - at least
for the initial version, maybe it makes sense to merge it into a common
framework later.  Marketing blah blah about the alleged advantages of an
unspecified protocol should go nowhere, we just don't need that.
A single sentence that there are other solution approaches being
considered, with references to other drafts, would nicely fit into the
introduction.

But maybe I will change my mind if we have a clearer idea what
you would like to see in the appendix.  So please propose text.

Thanks
Sebastian
