Perhaps this is a fussy comment but this description of slimbus makes 
pretty heavy use of mobile phone jargon. Admittedly it is jargon from 
the slimbus spec which, as standards go, seems rather myopic about its 
potential user base.

However, even the standards own self-description doesn't limit its role 
to baseband <-> peripherals. What happened to the application 
processor/main-SoC?

Also would an "If unsure, choose N." be useful? It could be quite a long 
time before someone who doesn't know they need slimbus actually finds 
that they do.

Daniel.
