Christian,

I actually responded to the last comments you made a while ago (oct 2010). 
One issue I pointed out was your use of RFC2119 keywords, which (AFAIK) 
aren't appropriate for a requirements draft (the requirements aren't a 
standard). So statements like "Any codec specified by the IETF MUST be well 
specified", besides stating the obvious, are inappropriate.

There were also comments that just did not belong to this draft, such as 
the section on collaboration with other WGs. Collaboration is not a 
characteristic of a codec. So essentially, I merged the uncontroversial 
suggestion, but that's all I could do. As far as I'm aware, there's nothing 
in the current draft that goes against the consensus of the WG. If there 
are, please point to specific issues and to statements made by others (not 
just you) asking for the change.

Cheers,

	Jean-Marc
