Thanks Rod!

I will respond more to the detail at a later date, but to answer the

It is not the intention to change THIS document into a protocol spec - 
although the WG is now invited/expected to work on the other Charter 
items which relate to implementing elements of the architecture.

The document was written in reponse to the following charter item:

"Specify the requirements and architecture for supporting IPv4/IPv6 via
MPEG-2 transmission networks. Such requirements should consider the
range of platforms currently (or anticipated to be) in use. This draft
will be an Informational RFC."

When completed it will therefore be put to the IESG for proposed 
publication as an INFORMATIONAL document, although the final 
classification is of course determined by the IESG, not the WG.
