I'm having a hard time understanding just what this document is trying to do

I understand from the title that it is supposed to be telling the reader why 
a single OAM 
solution is a good idea for MPLS-TP

if that is the case I'm not all that sure what the purpose of sections 4 and 
5 are for - they seem
to be exploring land outside the reservation - how about just addressing the 
topic in the title?

That goes a bit further than my own suggestion of moving them to
an Appendix, but they are indeed off the main track of the argument.
You're probably right; it would be more succinct and equally
powerful without them.

        I personally liked your idea of moving to an appendix.  That keeps them 
in black and white and in a place that can be referenced.

I think we all know that competing standards are a bad thing,
without
having to get the historical details of SDH vs SONET right. Whatever
good work was done to fix the SDH/SONET case, the fact is that users were
seriously inconvenienced, exactly as they were earlier by the difference
between E1 and T1. [Anecdote about the first T1 link carrying IP across
the Atlantic deleted.]
