So this points out that 1) the document doesn't define 'cellular host', and 2) that 'assumptions' of the authors are not always obvious to the reader. A host must conform to specific requirements and mixing or adding different interface types doesn't change that. In this example, when a DSL interface got added to a 3G handset does it suddenly change from a 'cellular host' to something else? If so which rules apply? The document is fundamentally flawed because it is focused on a target product, the micro-3G handset. If it gets rewritten to focus on unique exceptions for the cellular air-link that are strictly about addressing the problems that arise from its characteristics, it MAY be worthy of a WG last call.
