I see you want to keep the scope document not too specific.  But in
its current form, the concept of "network specific" is too vague and
I'm afraid it's reader-unfriendly (in fact I couldn't understand the
idea just from this draft and ended up digging into the ML archive).
I don't think it too restrictive if we show one specific example of
the intended usage with a note that reads "but the use of this scope
is not limited to this case; in terms of the scope definition it can
be used for any other usage as long as it meets other architectural
constraints".

But I wouldn't strongly argue for that.  It's just a suggestion.
