Cameron, Your points are valid. I agree to all but the last one.
The draft is not intended to provide/propose/recommend a solution, rather share the analysis (e.g. impact if such a solution was to be deployed). Do you find the abstract worthy of rephrasing? There are other drafts that talk about solutions, of course.
