SOrry - my bad words...

Of course - I meant "not our final chance [to produce material for 
wider IETF]". And yes, of course, it depends whether the IESG approve 
it. So I also should have said,
"I propose we work on text optimistically, and if we don't get 
accepted we will have wasted a little of our time, but otherwise 
we'll be in good shape early."
