SM, I think you misunderstood the point of the new list. It's not for 
Last Call announcements; it's for Last Call discussion (i.e., individual 
Last Call comments, area review team reviews, and all of their 
respective replies). Those messages number 50 to 100 per month. Moving 
those messages to a separate list is the experiment.
