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.
