Hi,

A new version of the architecture text is now available. We've included much feedback from the homenet list and interim WG meeting.

There is still a little more editorial work likely by the authors before Monday night's deadline that may result in a -02 version, in particular in section 3.5, but comments on the -01 version are very welcome.
