This is true, and a timing objection is a pretty low-quality response
to a substantive issue. This particular timing objection is also
somewhat misleading, since it looks like more than one person provided
this feedback prior to IETF Last Call without receiving a response:
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/apps-discuss/current/msg08531.html>.
My message on the matter was sent on December 3rd, 2012.
