Draft 0.1, 2006-Feb-13

Section 1, "At any given time, ..."
  - Does this mean that I would have to duplicate punched-into-SWAN
    settings across child profiles layered on top of each network that
    I may punch in from?  Not to mention overlap with my
    directly-connected-to-SWAN settings.  Shouldn't layered
    configuration be independent of base configuration?

Section 3, bullet 6
  - The State Machine section does not discuss "bouncing" interface at
    all.

  - "... link change is transient or note." should probably be "...
    not."

Section 4, bullet 5
  - What does "query always, query only if new" mean in response to
    a new wireless AP?

  - Shouldn't you distinguish between a new wireless AP with a new
    network name and one with a known network name?
