Hi Dhruv,

And I added Hari to the to: line, as shepherd.

Thanks. I think it would be helpful to capture this somehow in the shepherd 
writeup. I don’t see a perfect place to list it, but it fits sort-of under 

10. Several IETF Areas have assembled [lists of common issues that their
    reviewers encounter][6]. Do any such issues remain that would merit specific
    attention from subsequent reviews?

because the ART checklist includes

        • Internationalization and Localization: Unicode, UTF-8, UTF-16, 
Usernames and/or Passwords, anything to be displayed to a user or otherwise 
involving a phrase like "human-readable”

Or it could be covered under questions (1) or (2), though again there isn’t a 
perfect fit — maybe we should revise the shepherd template again to 
(re?)introduce an optional question for “describe anything you think 
interesting or relevant in the WG discussion”.

Anyway, I don’t think anyone will be upset if you just fit the information in 
somewhere...

Regards,

—John
