Thanks for the pointer. Would you be wiling to lead a discussion on it an upcoming call?

Here’s my initial comments: RFC7452 focuses on Internet protocols rather than higher layer abstractions. This is reasonable given that its title is “architectural considerations in smart object networking”.  Some aspects that the report omits include the role of semantics and data formats as a basis for discovery and interoperability, different ways to fund services and their implications for open markets of services, the role of overlay networks for abstracting away variations in communications technologies, the role of social relationships, and how to handle big data.
