Hi Mark,

Sorry for not getting back sooner.

Briefly: OCF Cloud has an RD that munges the href and completely changes
(lies about) the eps.  You can do that, but the result is not a Resource
Directory (which cannot do that).

OCF Cloud also subverts the OCF security model (IMHO).

More generally, OCF Cloud is effectively a specification of an OCF Reverse
Proxy, as far as I can tell. There are many ways to do that; why enshrine
one implementation as "official? (And why on Earth call it "OCF Cloud"?)

Even more generally: what precisely is the problem OCF Cloud purports to
solve? Until we know what we cannot evaluate it. E.g. why do we need an
account server? You (or Samsung) might need that, but that does not mean
everybody does. E.g. why is a conformant RD not sufficient? Why do we need
to funnel requests through a reverse proxy? Doesn't that defeat the very
purpose of ipv6?

Etc. etc.
