In general, we should avoid trying to say "we're re-using <foo>" too much in
the architecture draft.  As we've seen from the long (very long) discussions
on potential protocol tweaks to enable I2RS applications on existing IETF
protocols, we know this is tricky to bring to some sort of consensus.

Benoit, I think the other half of this challenge is in many cases we mention
other IETF technologies because they provide example components of things we
might be able to use.  By their example, we get a huge amount of semantic
help with what is covered, with the downfall of some amount of "you probably
don't want this component".  I think the advantages of drawing analogies to
existing techs outweighs the issues of saying "we *are* (re-)using this
technology".

Given the above, are there specific changes you'd recommend that allow us to
continue to get semantic leverage out of any references we have to existing
techs?
