Minor nit in the above: I believe that drafts were sent back to the WG
_primarily_ due to lack of detail about the "experimental" nature of the 
proposed allocation, which made further consideration about the potential
implications rather difficult.  The authors have done significant edits 
as a result, and hence it's probably a good idea for everyone to reread
the drafts and come to their own conclusion.  (This is my main reason for 
bringing the matter to the attention to this list - I am not asserting 
that these are wonderful drafts or that we have a problem, only that full 
consideration should involve a slightly larger circle of folks...  :-)

Thanks!
