The authors seriously believe that this will result in an attempt to boil the
ocean.  Yes, BRSKI is exciting for many and opens many doors, but in
the context of the *ANIMA* Charter, we strongly think that this
document should leave the oceans alone, and deal only with the
ANIMA ACP usage.

Other users of BRSKI *SHOULD* write a new profile.
Would it be acceptable for us to provide a section that might be
entitled:
        "The ACP mode of operation of BRSKI"

or perhaps some other section that would clarify the applicability of this
document?

We would list the assumptions and maybe even reduce the options for use
in the ACP?

The authors do not object to writing more documents about more situations
where BRSKI might be used, but we think that putting it all into one
document is a way for continuing scope creep.

In accepting the constrained work into the ANIMA WG, the chairs and area
director have already been very generous.

The above comments would seem to apply to this as well.

As I previously indicated when you first wrote this, we have turned your
comments into a series of issues on github, and we will be closing those
issues as quickly as we can.

Some will come with proposed text changes, but a number will need discussion,
and we will start new subject lines in this thread for them.   I don't want
to innudate you, so I've set the Reply-To.
