Some minor, and not-particularly-well-informed, suggestions:

Abstract:
   "... the four fundamental data access protocols - SCS, SIA, SSA, SLA"
   I'm not sure that fundamental is the best way to describe them,
   especially post-TAP.  Replace "fundamental" by "simple" or
   "first generation"?  Or just use the list of names without further
   editorialising?

Sec 2:
   The Note about how "many clients discover the standard endpoints..."
   is useful.  Could it be accompanied by a note or discussion about
   what the recommended way to do that is?

Sec 3.3.6:
   This section declares itself to be a temporary measure for services
   deployed prior to the SSA Recommendation (presumably SSA 1.03,
   Dec 2007?).  Should it be retired or deprecated now?

Appendix B.1:
   Heading is "Changes from PR-1.0" - I think that should be REC-1.0.


Also, there are some funny quote characters (U+201E?) in the LaTeX
source:

   % grep indicating.the.largest SimpleDALRegExt.tex
                          is „Cutout” or „Mosaic”, indicating the largest 
                          is „Cutout” or „Mosaic”, indicating the largest 
is there any reason?
