I do not know if there is any benefit at this point to separating the control plane and the management plane in the terms that have been summarized in this issue so far.

I don't know that I have a preference between the two terms, however in terms of what we have discussed so far in the architecture we have be looking at what is deemed to be control plane functions.  Protocols like broker protocol and agents like access control points are doing things "inside" of the system and not external terms.

Functions like publishing guidance might be termed as management in terms of what is discussed, but I tend to look at that as just one more piece of data that is moving around the system.  It does not matter to me how it gets published into the system at this point.
