Hmm...the first sentence of the document says the following: 

   From the perspective of a service provider, the Service Attachment
   Points (SAPs) are abstraction of the network reference points where
   network services can be delivered to customers.
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How is this "vast" compared to what is in 8309? 

For the rest, the document says:

   This document assumes that the reader is familiar with the contents
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  
   of [RFC6241], [RFC7950], [RFC8345], and [RFC8309].  The document uses        
                                     
                                           ^^^^^^^^
   terms from those documents.
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm still puzzled what is not clear here. Really.

Med: I fail to follow the reasoning. The model allows to retrieve the reference 
points where a service delivered. There are plenty of examples in the appendix.
