owners are often not known. in this particular case we didn't realize 
nsIClipboardCommands was even going to be discussed. The API review 
meetings are pretty dynamic. There's an "attempt" to getting the "right" 
people in the room, but it's rarely, if ever, 100% successful. *Lot's* 
of ground is covered in each meeting and gathering *everyone* isn't too 
doable.

yup. agenda meeting mails are posted each week. if they're posted too 
early, you'll ditch them and forget about it anyway. it's a lose-lose 
situation, and the "best" effort is made.
