Replacing REQ-4 with the following:
REQ-4: compatibility
The DMM solution MUST NOT break when being deployed between trusted

measures deployed between these domains. Existing network deployment and end
hosts also SHOULD NOT break.
I understand the intent, but specifying that something "SHOULD NOT break"
seems almost like berating the children.
How about:
"The DMM solution is required to work between trusted administrative domains
and SHOULD allow inter-working with the security measures deployed
between
these domains. Furthermore, the DMM solution must preserve backwards
compatibility with existing network deployment and end hosts."
I have two more issues:
- You cannot guarantee inter-working with completely arbitrary security
measures.
- I am confident that the DMM solution will require security. Thus, the
"SHOULD"
in the above text is somehow incorrect.
I'm not sure exactly how best to resolve these latter two issues, but
before I
try to make a resolution, I thought it would be good to raise the issue
on this
list for possible further discussion.
