Re: WG Last Call for <draft-ietf-ospf-dc-04.txt>

Folks-

 [wg member hat on]

 The -05 version of the draft has been published recently.
 The only changes are removing refs from the abstract
 to satisfy ID nits and additional text in the Acks section
 about Padma and Derek's original idea that is used as
 part of the mechanism in this doc.

 Thanks.
