Shepherd writeup
draft-vinapamula-softwire-dslite-prefix-binding

ISE comments ...

This draft was in the IETF stream, and reached its consensus ballot
(DataTracker still has an IESG Status for it), then it was passed
across to the Independent Stream.  At that point it had received
a lot of reviews.

This draft was reviewed for me by Senthil Sivakumar, who suggested
some changes; its principal author has made those changes in response 
to that feedback.

This draft has no IANA Considerations.
