Para 5 of 3.5: "Multiple types of physical interfaces must be accounted for in the homenet routed topology. Technologies such as Ethernet, WiFi, Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA), etc. must be capable of coexisting in the same environment and should be treated as part of any routed deployment. The inclusion of physical layer characteristics including bandwidth, loss, and latency in path computation should be considered for optimising communication in the homenet.“ > I'm basically making questions up here.

Well, 3 of the 4 questions seem to be answered, or at least considered if left relatively open.
