Working Group Summary The working group spent a significant amount of time looking at and reviewing this document. Updates where made based on working group review, and requests for clarification. There was consensus from the working group at last call. Document Quality Several existing implements exist for this document. A new implementation was written during the review process of the draft. Specificly Geoff Huston, attempted to write code based on the draft, and drove some clarifications, and issues based on his work.
