(Removed last-call from this, as it's meta-discussion.) Hi, Bob, > However, sending this thread to the last-call@xxxxxxxx list, seems to me to defeat the purpose of the last > call list. That is, it is to be used for IETF w.g. last calls. Other discussions, like this one, should happen > on the ietf@xxxxxxxx list. That's a good point, and I mostly agree. I decided to send this to last-call also, because it involves the very existence of that list, and I wanted to be sure to catch people who follow <last-call> but not <ietf>, as we need their input as well. Perhaps I should have just posted a notice about the discussion and asked people to come here to respond. In any case, thanks for keeping me honest. :-) Barry
