Re: [MMUSIC] I-D Action: draft-ietf-mmusic-media-loopback-19.txt

Howdy,
Based on the emails/comments from the WGLC, I have posted a revised media-loopback draft.  I believe this addresses all opened issues, and in general covers the following changes:

1) Feedback from media mime types reviewer on section 13 (now section 14).  Changes based on:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf-types/current/msg01649.html

2) Many editorial corrections from Flemming, based on:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/mmusic/current/msg09295.html

3) Non-contentious comments from Magnus have been addressed, based on:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/mmusic/current/msg09300.html

4) Congestion control issue - it appears "let the loopback source do it" was the rough consensus, so it has been changed. (well... clarified)  The thread started here:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/mmusic/current/msg09305.html

5) Secretly replaced the fine coffee the IETF usually serves, with Folgers Crystals.

6) SRTP is now covered in a small new section.

7) Author list has been reduced to 5 authors.

If you are not happy with the changes let me know (or rather let this mailing list know).
