Dear all:

If it may assist ipr wg participants in focusing on the wg issues, if 
any in the present discussion thread, here is a clarification:

The observations I made about draft-ietf-dnsext-rollover-requirements 
*are completely independent from* draft-moreau-srvloc-dnssec-priming, or 
the IPR disclosure for the latter.

Like Harald, I'm lost when reading comments suggesting otherwise.

Regards,
