(This is a different clarification: thanks for clarifying my first question.)

   I notice Adam Roach has provided an answer on-list which is both
reasonable and easy to read.

   When I tried a reply from my mail-reader, I became confused by the
numbering; and I eventually gave up because I wasn't sure how automatic
software might interpret my answers.

   (Ted's original had confusing numbers following each question, e.g.:
] 
]    All entities MUST support both H.264 and VP8
]    1.
] 
]       Are you in favor of this option [Yes/No/Acceptable]:
]       2.
] 
]       Do you have any objections to this option, if so please summarize   
]       them:
]       4.

   Adam left out the "2" following each "in favor" question, and attached
the question-number, e.g. "4" to the next question.

   Should we be trying to emulate Adam's format -- or is there some
automated way to answer the questions in an unambiguous manner?
