Sam, Thanks for your comments about APIs. I have already had a very vibrant debate with some folks about this in another context. I would simply suggest here that the IETF has mixed success with APIs, especially abstract APIs, and that while I wouldn't object to us "going there", given that we've "been there", I would ask that we wade carefully further into this space deliberately, recognizing what has worked, and what has not. The hardest part of this exercise, I'm afraid, will be on agreeing which fit which category. Also, it may not be appropriate to develop APIs in all cases. Documenting dome understanding of when that effort likely to succeed would be VERY useful.
