I did the last drafts of that, when Chris was distracted. Noone's sent me 
mail about it until now.

This might of course mean that noone's had problems understanding the 
prose, noone found typoxs, and noone needed help finding interop partners. 
But I fear that in this case, it's more likely to mean that the number of 
implementers approximates zero. Particularly since noone said they wanted 
to implement before publication; I only finished the document since doing 
that was simpler than getting it removed from the WG charter.
