I thought there was to be an overview doc as well produced, with the
goal being to lay out the basic parts referring to the other drafts
for further info/expansion.

sidr has produced an awesome collection of I-Ds (some now obsolete) but it is
not obvious, short of spending a few months in the archives, how they fit
together.  Other major projects - snmp for example - produced an 
Introduction,
acting as a starting point and a road map to the other I-Ds and I think that
that should be a prerequisite for sidr.  This I-D is not it (even if it could
be); its Normative
References include a further 80 pages of sidr I-Ds!

One small example.  The I-Ds have several references to RPKI and indeed, that
appears in -arch; but it first appears on page 8 and is not even expanded, 
let

eh.. that's a nit that someone should file... "hey, you can't use an
acronym for the first time without actually expanding it properly!"

Can you cite the proper para/page/section on this so the authors can fix it?


Maybe if we tweaked the last sentence in section 2:

Such a PKI, which is henceforth referred to as the Resource Public Key 
Infrastructure (RPKI), is a central component of this architecture.

alone explained.  Of course you can turn to Wikipedia and you find a clear
explanation of what RPKI is but you should not need Wikipedia to understand
something as important as sidr.  This I-D seems to be written to be 
understood
by those who understand it:-(
