Overall, very good, and I think mostly suitable for a fpwd.
Editorial Notes:
** I would change the list of "seven DoV" to numbered, instead of bullet.
** I notice that the glossary of SpecLite does not contain definitions for 
profiles, modules, etc.
** "Specification Category" -- this is under-specified.  I.e., it is 
difficult to understand both the explanations of the different categories 
(they each need at least a sentence of definition/discussion), and how this 
is critical to variability analysis.  I myself would have difficulty 
writing a Spec. Cat. analysis based on this.  We should develop the section 
better, or remove it.  For now, maybe "green flag" it to indicate that we 
think it needs attention.
All for now,
-Lofton.
