I've read this draft, and I think the use case list is reasonably complete.
However, it's really unclear to me what the value of this draft might be in its current form, and what its intended audience might be. Cataloging use cases is not all that helpful by itself without an end goal in mind, and that end goal is not clear from the draft. The scope is deliberately very narrow and references other drafts that discuss some of the surrounding issues with address sharing and unique identifiers, and so there is very little text in each section beyond a basic description. Even when you think of this in terms of follow-on drafts such as a gap analysis or problem statement or solution drafts, one wonders how useful it is to spread this across multiple drafts. So why not simply incorporate this list into one of the referenced general drafts on host identification, such as nat-reveal-analysis and then broaden that draft so that it considers and addresses the other use cases as appropriate? Otherwise, I think that the draft needs to be much clearer about the unique issues and considerations for each use case, especially those that are somehow distinct from those covered in nat-reveal-analysis so that it can serve as a better input to any potential solutions addressing this problem. I also believe that if this draft is to remain a standalone document, the authors need to make at least some attempt at discussing security and privacy considerations here, even if it is mainly to refer the reader to more in-depth discussions of the matter in other drafts. Again, here is an area where being clear about the specific considerations for each use case is important, identifying whether the other drafts discuss things so that they are applicable to all of the use cases, or if the use cases are unique in any number of ways that will mean that they have unique privacy and security considerations.
