API applies to both CMIP and PMIP hosts.
We don't mention MAG or LMA, as those details are not related to the "API".

Very good idea, will do.

Right, it can be….. But depending on the deployment, a centralized HA may be in 
a better position to serve long sessions than an AR at the edge (because of 
scalability, and also funneling traffic "in&out" may not suit the AR well, as 
its uplink may not be provisioned with enough capacity). 
Anyways, we should massage the text, .. will propose something.

We are referring to the API we are defining in this I-D. Will clarify in the 
text.

Where should the priority come from? The spec shall state it?

Thank you!
