Re: [Masque] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-schwartz-masque-access-descriptions-03.txt

Hi Ben,

Thanks for sharing this! I think this is a really interesting proposal and
I look forward to your presentation. I'd definitely be curious to hear more
about some of the envisioned use-cases, because I'm still having a hard
time understanding when this would be useful to a potential client.

Sincerely,
-Alex
