My feeling is that both of these comments concern implementation =
specific issues. In addition, I think they've been raised very late. The =
mapping language has existed within this document since the first draft, =
originally published in April of this year. There have been numerous =
calls for review on this list since then.

My belief is that Last Call should be a place for those who feel that =
earlier remarks have been ignored to raise their grievances, and for =
those who have only just reviewed the document to raise major concerns. =
I'm not convinced that they're an appropriate location for these kinds =
of minor issues which should have been raised much earlier in the =
process.

Otherwise, why should anyone bother reading a document before Last Call?

Cheers,

Simon.
