Hi Martin,

Thanks very much for your helpful review! We've just posted a -10 revision (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-intarea-provisioning-domains-10), that should address your comments.

There aren't any specific transport layer considerations that must be addressed to move forward; however, this mechanism is partly intended to support multihomed transports, and it is not difficult to imagine extensions that would help those transports by providing additional information about each path. I hope these eventually follow in another document.

All of these suggestions have been applied!

The new explanation here is:

This approach allows for two distinct sets of configuration
   information to be sent in a way that will not disrupt non-PvD-aware
   hosts.  It also lowers the risk that a single RA message will
   approach its MTU limit due to duplicated information.

Best,
Tommy
