Adequacy of CTS model

There are 30 specific recommendations in the "Specific Recommendations" section of the submitted Hammerstrom paper. I have numbered them all for traceability as I recombine them into specific issues. The original white paper/submission can be read in the URI under "environment"

1. Lines 19 – 22: It is problematic that the broader TE community does not universally accept this narrow definition of TE. CTS may work within this narrow definition of TE, but the application of market structs in electric distribution systems and end uses is an immature, evolving technology, and CTS is not yet adequate for communication in these newer visions.
2. Lines 30 – 32: My content above explains why CTS may not be future proof for future TE systems and for mechanisms that already differ from that envisioned by the CTS authors.
3. Line 49: Please see the content above concerning CTS limitations in respect to aggregations of collections of devices. The biggest limitation is that a CTS message possesses only one strike price, which is inadequate to represent aggregations of dissimilar, prioritized devices, that may have differing associated prices and quantities.
