I do have a suggestion

OLD:
   For L3 service, VNs transport IP datagrams, and a Tenant System is 
provided with a service that only supports IP traffic.

NEW:
   For L3 service, VNs are routed networks that transport IP datagrams, and a 
Tenant System is provided with a service that only supports IP traffic.

:-). Agree with you on the "too many cooks" point. Alia mentioned there is a 
follow up draft in nvo3 that discusses the issues. So I am fine even without 
adding a reference to the tunnels draft.
