Re: One last nit

In regard to Claudio's question about whether the 1602 requirements for XDR
have been met, a technical answer is probably:
   No.  The exact specification of 1602 has not been met.
However, in my opinion, we are permitted to use a little judgement in
this kind of situation.  The spirit of 1602 has very much been met.  It
would seem foolhardy to become too detail-minded at this point.

To put it another way, 1602 is known to be broken in its details.
The agreement which has been reached is one that I would personally
consider sufficient to allow advancement, as it meets the goals that
the words in 1602 were intended to meet.  So, lets not wait for the
wordsmiths to finish before advancing the technical work.

PS I agree with John Klensin that a Last Call is still needed.  I am
    not clear on whether there is a working group (2 week last call) or
    not (4 week last call).
