Hi Dino, I mostly agree with all of your comments regarding the current text (with some nuances of course), but I think that we can carry on that discussion on London. However, let me address something here.

Please keep in mind that this is just a -00 version and most of the content is still to be written. Despite the fact that the text now refers mostly to flow aspects, my intention is to address other points (such Publish/Subscribe mechanism, etc) on the near future. I would prefer to keep all SDN related stuff here to avoid the proliferation of drafts. If in the future we see that some parts (like what you call "LISP granular map-caches") require too much technical detail, then we should consider the spin-off of those parts to different drafts and keep this draft as a "SDN umbrella" (as Michiel suggested). At this point this draft is a tool to work on all the SDN specific aspects of LISP and to generate some discussion. Let's talk in London ;) Alberto
