Honestly, both options point at the same thing: the suggestion (at least)
of a solution.  I am completely in favor of reusing
technology/ideas/drafts if they will help solve the problem.  My point is
that this document is not specifying solutions, just requirements..if that
is true, then don¹t point at the solutions.  OTOH, if this document is to
specify solutions, then lets do that.

Having said all that, I can defer to Alia.  However, please at least make
it clear that the solutions you are pointing to are just that (pointers).
In the text above I would rather keep the original text that clearly
states that solutions are out of scope.  The text in 6.2.4.4 doesn¹t
explicitly say that the solutions are not in scope.

Thanks!

Alvaro.
