Subject: [NSIS] requirements

I've managed to read through the charter and some
of the material suggested in the agenda, and it's
not entirely clear to me what the requirements are
intended for. The charter says that the wg is
supposed to start with RSVP etc, as givens and
work from there, but reading some of the
requirement drafts there's a lot of requirements
which are already fulfilled by RSVP. To my mind,
what is really needed is not so much to restate
the same requirements which are pretty much
givens, but instead focus on requirements which
the current crop of RFC's don't adequately
address. For example, the reserve/commit problem,
or the flow migration across CoA's and fast
handoffs, or what it how the identity modules are
really supposed to work with in cross realm
situations.

In fact, I think that an accounting of the current
set of affairs is pretty much a prerequisite to
requirements, which seems to be item two in the
charter (analysis). This seems backward to me.  Ie
the question should start with "what's wrong" and
be followed up with "what are the common
problems and missing requirements".
