Personal opinion:

I think SIDR is already densely littered with a LOT of specification documents, 
and 
we are now at a stage where maintaing internal consistency across these specs 
is a 
real challenge. Indeed even now there is a need for a SIDR Roadmap to explain 
the
set of documents we have and their inter-relationship.

I would prefer to see fewer documents, not more, and I think the two update
efforts in 6485 should be merged.
