Abbie,
sure, so here's my understanding so far:
  An "OPES system" describes the collection of all OPES entities (i.e.
  OPES processors and callout servers) that are operated by a single
  provider (or, alternatively: ...within a single trust domain).
If this describes what an "OPES system" was meant to be, I somehow 
don't like the term too much. Maybe the term "OPES domain" would be 
appropriate?

That is the main problem. We need a formal definition, since we refere to it
a lot in the draft.

To start off the discussion, can we state that an OPES 
system is the 
collection of entities that perform OPES transformations on a

Isn't there somewhere an assumption in the drafts that an "OPES 
System" describes OPES entities that are operated (or belong) to a 
single operatore/trustdomain/carrier?
Thanks,
