I've re-read this latest revision from top to bottom. In general I see the
document as a valuable contribution to the fight against attackers that we
all face. Personally I would say it's almost complete. I have only noted a
couple of points to improve, below.

1. The definition of "Kill chain" can be misread as being about the
defenders' activities. It would benefit from a tweak to make it clear this
is the attacker's chain.

2. Later on it says "Broad coverage of the PoP is important as it allows
the defender to cycle between high precision but high fragility options and
more robust but less precise indicators."    The word "cycle" here gives
the impression that sometimes defenders are at the top of the pyramid, and
other times at the bottom. I don't know if this happens in real life but I
don't think it's useful to point people towards a behaviour that
contradicts the overall recommendation about covering a broad range of
IoCs. We want people to be effective in their defence, and that means
spotting IoCs at as many layers of the pyramid as you can.

If the above can be considered, and addressed or rejected (depending on the
WG's view) then I'll be happy for it to advance to the next stage.
