Before forming the DT, Ulrich has published several documents for this  
work with Thomas.
We invited Ulrich in the DT at the previous IETF, because
we believed that a chair (ThomasC) should not join in the DT in  
general sense.

You saw (listened) Ulrich's presentation at the previous IETF.

All the DT members contribute to the document,
but I believe some of DT will act as an editor.

These documents circulated on the DT ML is not the final one.
The final document will be the one from the DT (all members)

"strawman" is not the title... It's just used by us to point out "not- 
yet-existing document"
anyway, the title is negotiable, but the contents are more important.

DT is finalizing the document and hopefully publish the initial  
document shortly.
We will see what they are specifying in the spec.
