Summary:

This draft is on the right track but has open issues, described in the 
review.

General:

This document is well written. The content was challenging for this 
reviewer who is not acquainted with the subject domain. Hence comments 
here are superficial.

Issues:

Major: 0
Minor: 1
Nits:  1

1) Minor: Use of Content-ID

This document makes use of Content-ID with constrained syntax and 
values. This usage *ought* to be consistent with http and mime 
definitions of Content-ID syntax.

I'm actually having some difficulty in identifying the most recent 
authoritative document for this syntax. The IANA registry of http header 
field names refers to RFC4229, and it refers to "The HTTP Distribution 
and Replication Protocol", W3C NOTE NOTE-drp-19970825, August 1997. That 
reference seems oddly specialized to be the authoritative definition. In 
any case it defines it as:

content-identifier = URI ( "," URI )*

A traditional one is <left@right> with some constraints on the content 
of left and right.

I'm not going to be the judge of what is authoritative here, but I 
suggest you find out and then conform to it.

2) NIT: Use of IPv6

As noted by IdNits, you should consider including some IPv6 addresses in 
examples.
