Re: [apis] Update HNReq note or publish new document

I'm wondering if updating the HNReq document or re-discussing it it's
the best use of our time. I agree we have partially repeated the same
discussion (and I've mentioned this several times) and this is due to
the fact that people active in the group have changed since then

Anyway, I think is OK to let the HNReq stay as it is (RIP if you wish
;) ), an focus on quickly wrap up our list of use cases and
requirements, and (more important) on the gap analysis, to see which
requirements have already a spec that can cover them (either final or
WiP).

During this activity, we should review the NSD spec (see related
discussion on this list) that was the direct consequence of the HNReq
document.
