Hi Dieter,

Thanks for the careful reading, and the catch of 
the apparently omitted detail.

I'm not meaning to challenge your memory, 
but I don't remember this detail.  Just to be safe, could I suggest that 
you send it to the TC list for confirmation (or challenge)?  I suggest (in 
salutation in body of the message) ATTN:  implementors especially -- 
Forrest, Ulrich

Dave, I think it might be prudent to schedule a Wednesday 
telecon next week, on contingency.  I think we are going to end up with a 
few things to talk about, and we don't need a 2-week delay at this point. 
Agreed?

One other comment (embedded)...

Approximate sense of how long ago?  (I 
would like to point out to Dave that lack of minutes is becoming an 
inconvenience.  I have completely lost track, for example, of who has what 
action items, e.g., the 'highlight' test case.)
