Is that all you've got?

All,

There are a grand total of 18 issues open, and there have been a total of 
27 filed to date, one of which was
a duplicate. 

The majority of these issues were raised during the F2F in Austin, as a 
result of the spec walk-thoughs.

Note also that it does not appear that any issues have been raised against 
content of the specifications that was
not reviewed during the F2F... e.g. All of the issues raised to date have 
been a direct result of the discussion
during the F2F. It is hard to imagine that the set of issues that has been 
submitted to date is all that is out there
lurking.

Given our aggressive schedule, Paul and I are concerned that unless all of 
the substantive issues are identified 
as we exit the Sept F2F that the WG schedule will be in jeopardy.

We would like to encourage everyone in the WG (as well as those of you 
lurking on the list) to be sure that
they review the draft specifications and identify/submit all of their 
technical (and editorial for that matter) issues
so that the WG and the chairs can know what is before us.

Thanks,
