sure, i can do that. i could very briefly summarize what's in there and 
what not, and then maybe that's also an interesting starting point for 
us: what would we choose to put into a complementary "WoT RFC"?

yes, this report is not something that solves all of our problems, and 
it clearly tackles the IoT space and not the WoT space. but i like how 
it tackles one area, does it well, focuses on patterns and principles 
instead of technologies, and doesn't assume that there is the one true 
solution that just needs to be found and standardized and from then on 
everything will work perfectly.

thanks and cheers,
