I support the adoption of IS-IS TTZ draft. 1). It seems that Area Proxy can not be amended to IS-IS TTZ. IS-IS TTZ abstracts a zone to a single node. This abstraction is supported by the extensions to IS-IS, and some of these extensions are not defined in Area Proxy. For example, the extensions for the edge nodes of the zone are not defined in Area Proxy. 2). IS-IS TTZ abstracts a zone to a single node. A zone is any target block or piece of an IS-IS area, which is to be abstracted. This seems more flexible and convenient to users. 3). IS-IS TTZ provides smooth transferring between a zone and its single virtual node. That is that a zone can be smoothly transferred to a single virtual node, and the virtual node can be smoothly rolled back to the zone. This should improve customer experience since converting any block of an area to a single node is smooth with minimum or no service interruption. 4). Using IS-IS TTZ for network scalability may reduce the users' workload or make their work easier. They may put less efforts on planning a zone to be abstracted to a node. After the zone is abstracted to a node, the node can be rolled back to the zone smoothly if they want to redefine the zone.
BTW, RFC 8099 (OSPF TTZ) is for abstracting a zone of an OSPF area to its edges full mesh. IS-IS TTZ is much better than RFC 8099 regarding to improving network scalability since IS-IS TTZ focuses on abstracting a zone to a single node.

It seems more flexible and capable although some editorial/nomenclature improvements in the draft would be good. I will send some more detailed suggestions to the authors.
