A good read and useful first introduction.  Some things that caught my 
eye:

Section 8.4. "New NSLP protocols" could benefit from a reference to 
I-D.ietf-nsis-ntlp Appendix B. "API between GIST and Signalling 
Applications".

Maybe Fig. 1 as follows:
             +-----+ +--------+ +-------+
             |     | |        | |       |
             | QoS | | NAT/FW | |  ...  |       NSLP
             |     | |        | |       |
             +-----+ +--------+ +-------+
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
             +--------------------------+
             |                          |
             |          GIST            |       NTLP
             |                          |
             +--------------------------+
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
             +--------------------------+
             |           TLS            |
             +--------------------------+
             +--------------------------+
             | TCP | UDP | SCTP | DCCP  |
             +--------------------------+
             +--------------------------+
             |         IPsec            |
             +--------------------------+
             +--------------------------+
             | IPv4(+RAO)  | IPv6(+RAO) |
             +--------------------------+

The document doesn't mention IPv6 at all.  Eventhough it should be 
considered common place by now, I still think it's worth mentioning.

And three nits:

    birds of a feather session on Wednesday 21st March *2001* at the 50th

                                                        ... only a router
    that runs GIST and the corresponding NSLP will take the packet out of
    the fast path, and *start* processing it within GIST.  ...

                                              If fragmentation is
    required it automatically establishes an MA and sends the
    signaling traffic over *a reliable protocol*.
