RE: Crossreferencing the spec list with Apache's

Again, this isn't something that the WG discussed, so I wouldn't feel 
comfortable adding it post facto.

I think the best solution is for you or Roger to re-send your list and 
include a "see also" section that lists:
         the Apache list
         the RRS feed
         whatever else
