Fair point. OTOH, there are folks who want to not require open-source
too. For now, I'd gone with "ideally open-source." As I said to Sam,
let's deal with that, if need be, at IETF LC.

In the meantime, I've posted -01 [1] with a bunch of changes. Do let
me know if I forgot to ack someone and as before all comments
(inevitable, this being a process thing;-) are very welcome.

Thanks,
S.
