I am going to note it's common sense that we everyone submit bugs and
reviews so there's no real reason to repeat common sense.

However, if no-one gives the spec a thorough review we are *not*
likely to get out of Last Call. I wanted to people to be aware of that
and try to push on this in the next week rather than being completely
consumed by the non-NIST ECC Curve debate, given that extensibility of
the spec is more of blocking issue than the current non-NIST ECC Curve
insofar as that would hold up extension specs.

 So Mark, if you could go through or anyone who is planning
extensibility and give Ryan concrete suggestions, I'd be very grateful.

   cheers,
       harry
