@xing-yang please give a markdown version of version 3 to review.

Just looking at the first paragraphs of the PDF - it looks like it's based on version 1 outdated material and needs an overhaul. This isn't reviewable until we have the markdown version here please :)

As always, LOVE the whitepapers that come from this group of people. One minor update and then good to publish @xing-yang

Solid work on v3—the new DR and Streaming sections fill real gaps. Two comments in line. Overall I really liked reading it through.
