Actually, this is something that I've been wondering about as the
discussion on inter-area has progressed. Is there expected to be a 
separate document detailing inter-AS requirements?

Given that the framework and other related drafts are jointly addressing
inter-area and inter-AS issues, how come the requirements document(s) is
not? 

Perhaps I missed some of this evolution, but if someone could shed some 
light on this, that would be appreciated.
