I think that there are two different things going on here.  One is
integration of containers with OVS, which seems like something that
IntegrationGuide.md should cover.  The other is the further
integration of containers with OVN; this is a very good description.

I'm not sure of how you chose to split content between the new
document and ovn-architecture(7).  I'm inclined to try to keep as much
of the OVN architecture in ovn-architecture(7).

In ovn-architecture(7) it might be worth motivating why we use tags
instead of one VIF per container, because we've had that question a
few times and it's a reasonable one.

I like the term CIF, thanks for inventing it.  (At least I haven't
seen it before.)

I need to think about this proposal a bit more.  I'll do that over the
weekend.
