Bekenstein-Hawking entropy from a phenomenological membrane

It is pointed out that the entropy of a membrane which is quantized perturbatively around a background position of fixed radius in a black hole spacetime is equal to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, if 1) the membrane surface is the horizon surface plus one Planck unit, and 2) its temperature is the Hawking temperature. (This is a comment on gr-qc 9411037.)
