I don't think we need to address all Last Call comments by the end of  
the LC period - that's just the deadline to submit them. We can take  
as long as we need after that to either go back to Working Draft or  
produce a disposition of comments and request transition to CR. That  
being said, I don't think the original LC period is unreasonable,  
given the active ongoing implementation work on these specs.
