Ok, failing my favored print output, but given the
importance, I reviewed the paper online. (Fortunately,
it was short.)

Cool.
Some comments:
* One of IBIS's cool features is that you never express
a claim *without* introducing an (open-ended) question
that it responds to.
By explicitly stating the question, you leave room for
other possible answers, and for an evaluation of the
alternatives wrt the original claim.
This is particularly appropriate in design discussions.
Rather than simply proposing "X", one first states the
question, "How should we accomplish Y?", and the
propose "X" as an answer. That immediately creates the
hook on which other possible answers can be hung.
* I'm on the first page, and although most of labels in
the graph are intuitively clear, I must confess that I
have no idea what a "warrant" would be, or how it would
relate to a claim. (I'm sure I'll get the idea as I
read on. I just wanted to point out that it's not
intuitively understandable, at this juncture.)
* Hmmm. I better read the XTM paper. I don't know much about
it, and the paper isn't giving me much background on it.
All in all, it looks like an intriguing start. I look forward
to future drafts.
