Bill and Karl,

The name of a fifth interoperable implementation was supplied to the
IESG, but with the proviso that they would have to contact the vendor to
get permission to identify them.

I don't have a lot of additional details, but I found it helpful to
know there had been an independent effort.  I was more concerned with
the readability of the documents than the actual success of the
implementation since multiple interoperable implementations are not
required for Proposed Standard status.

I expect additional work on the documents and additional reviews
during the next few months.  If either of you want to sign up to do a
serious review, let me know.


Steve
