Tiring exercise completed

OK, so I've gone through the last call DB and done three things:

1) corrected numerous misclassifications or non-classifications of the 
type of edits done to the spec in response each LC comment.  Especially, 
removed the 'substantive' classification where appropriate, and otherwise 
provided notes explaining that 'substantive' means only that we 
added/changed/deleted an element, attribute, function or behavior, but 
that we did not expect an objection based on the fact that the change did 
not invalidate any prior implementation experience or what have you.

There were a good 25 or so instances of this.

3) ensured that each comment either had at least one reply or (in 4 or 5 
cases) that the notes say the person was present for the discussion and 
agreed with the outcome 

There were 7 instances of this.

We should therefore be able to get a reasonably good LC comment report.  I 
say reasonably good because the system seems to have had problems 
classifying some of the follow-up mail, so in some cases the thread of 
follow-up discussion actually appears in our trash bin.
