BTW, this came out sounding kind of grudging. I should say that my concerns
in the previous review were my concerns, which may or may not have
mattered, and I appreciate the authors addressing the concerns they
addressed, and understand that they didn't see the other issues the way I
did (or did, but addressed them differently than I would have). So when I
refer to the "reasonable, if disappointing" reaction, it's me who's
somewhat disappointed, and I am not suggesting that the IETF should be, and
I really just shouldn't have said that in the review—sorry about that.
