Introduction
This contribution proposes a table of contents for the SDD. Legacy support should be addressed in each
technical section when necessary. As pointed out in SRD, the number of optional features shall be minimized.

IEEE C802.16m-07/225
The proposed TOC is a non-exhaustive list of items. Additions/removals will be done as seen necessary by the
TG during the development process.
