Can you please clarify what you mean with i) tenuous and ii) "appears 
unscalable" wrt to what ? and why ? this could be helpful for the next 
iteration of the document.

As stated during the meeting, if you do such comparison keep in mind objectives 
and criteria. Indeed, partitioning instances is detrimental for devices which 
uses OSPF for exchanging non-IP routing information but this is the information 
from which they derive their forwarding entries. For instance, with MPLS-TE, 
separate instances would delay the RSVP-TE LSP setup (since relying on TE 
information). 
 
Thanks,
