What assumption?

How about:

"Telemetry events will be tied to another resource. This requires the
 functions that manipulate domains to not be L3 specific."

"so the rmid_read::d field is replaced" -> "so replace the L3 specific domain
pointer rmid_read::d with rmid_read::hdr that points to the generic domain
header"
(switch to imperative and remove unnecessary "field" term)

wait ... this looks familiar ... (looks at v7 feedback) ... same feedback
here as in v7 :(

Looks like the change intended for patch #8 landed here instead.
