I have comments on the following.

The following clause (2.2) makes assumptions
that I think we cannot make. Namely, that the "DTDs will be
attached to the automation device by an Ethernet switch or hub and that
this subnet is isolated from the Internet for security."
<<
2.2 Automation
Device Components
This document assumes that DTDs will
be attached to the automation device by an Ethernet switch or hub and that
this subnet is isolated from the Internet for security.
The automation device contains the following
components:
• Management application accessible
via front panel and/or Internet.
• Automation application client (see
ADC-3)
• Remote SMC device server (see ADC-3)
• Ethernet ADI port (see ADC-3 and
T10/07-469r2)
While the automation application client
and remote SMC device server must use the Ethernet iADT port to access
DTDs’ iADT ports, the network protocol servers and the management application
do not necessarily use the same Ethernet port.
>>
While it is true that some installations
will be configured this way, it is also true that some installations will
require that the DTDs' ethernet port is accessible by the external network.
We cannot limit what vendors are going to do here.
