Summary: This draft is basically ready for publication, but has nits
that should be fixed before publication.
One comment regarding section 3.1.2 ("Session Maintenance in NMS"):
The section says that session maintenance functions at HTTP and at
NETCONF level are necessary to ensure that the same NETCONF service
provider is used every time a given NETCONF application sends a
message. However, it seems that for this purpose only a session at
NETCONF layer is necessary. Different messages could be carried over
different HTTP connections, yet still be associated with the right
NETCONF session. As a matter of fact, the approach proposed in
section 3.1.2 -- carrying session IDs as HTTP cookies -- is a way to
provide a session at the NETCONF level. It does not create a session
at the HTTP level.
I suggest to clarify that a session is needed (only) for the NETCONF
level, and that session IDs can be carried as HTTP cookies to achieve
this.
