Description Anne 2013-01-08 12:43:15 UTC 
The "distribution algorithm" links twice to "distributed" but "distributed" is just an explanatory term in the introduction and does not help understand what needs to be done to "distribute /node/ to /point/".
Comment 1 Dominic Cooney 2013-01-09 06:17:30 UTC 
My understanding is that there is a set of distributions, D, where a distribution is a tuple (node, insertion point).

"Distribute node to point" means D = D U {(node, point)}

I agree this could be clearer. Specifically the output of the distribution algorithm is this set D. At the start of the distribution algorithm D is the empty set.
Comment 2 Anne 2013-01-09 11:40:48 UTC 
I think it would help if the structure being created was defined explicitly. Currently that seems to be missing. There's a bunch of algorithms, some that not quite clearly modify existing algorithms (e.g. the event dispatch stuff), but what overall model they are working on is not clearly defined.
Comment 3 Hayato Ito 2013-07-24 05:07:49 UTC 
Fixed. The new spec defines that.
