Thanks for getting this out.

A big -1 to fixed-width fonts in documents.

1.2  This is somewhat wishy-washy about what to expect for 
non-VirtualBox hypervisors.  I'd suggest a clear statement of whether 
it's in scope (and hence expected to be tested) or not, as specifically 
as you can be.

1.4.1 It's not clear to me that the unified design "project" (I use 
quotes because it's a design effort, not a project at this point) 
actually would include a bootable AI image in its scope.  I would 
suggest this is re-phrased as a "bootable image which can perform an 
automated installation without need of additional services beyond an IPS 
package repository" because it's not really the same as an AI image, in 
terms of the existing AI definition.  What projects besides this one 
require creating that, actually?

1.5 What version of OpenSolaris?  More specific about VirtualBox version?

1.6 VDI - I'm pretty sure that the VDI used by VirtualBox is for Virtual 
Disk Image; the other VDI you reference here relates to things like 
Citrix and Sun Ray.

2.2 Seems like we should talk to the LDOMs team to see what their plans 
are in this area, just to be certain we're not missing alignment.

4.0 (and 6.1.1) I'm not entirely clear; will we be providing for 
download a pre-built image suitable for use to get started, or is the 
user expected to build one?

6.1.1 This seems unlikely to be the "default" case.  The slim CD package 
list is not that interesting to most of the use cases I would expect to 
be applied here.  Suggest this needs some discussion with the JeOS folks 
around what a good default scenario might be.

(Didn't have time to really go through the other cases yet).
