Ok that's helpful :)

I'd find it helpful if we could agree to use Alia's terminology from
draft-atlas-i2rs-problem-statement-01, specifically "Policy Database"
and "RIB Manager", or clarify what's wrong with that terminology.
Then we could eliminate the need to define "normal", and cast the
goals of I2RS in terms of it's "local process's" interaction with the
local "Policy Database Manager" and the local "RIB Manager", using
Joel's meaning of "local process". Suggested text:

I2RS uses standardized APIs on a routing element to accept and process
messages, constructing input to the policy database manager and RIB
manager as needed.  It is not intended to replace these local
managers, although an implementation of a router using I2RS without
them would be valid, at least from the I2RS perspective.

Although at this point I'm not clear where this would go :)
