We did not get much input during the wglc, but since this is just an
informational document documenting an existing protocol we believe it is 
sufficient.

I think it's good if you can post another revision with the minor 
changes discussed below before we pass it on to the IESG. Also please
run it through the idnits tool to check that there are no issues.
