I did read the document.  Please show the wording that you think 
provides the derivative rights.

It's not whether or not I trust the companies, nor whether or not they 
can be forced to live up to the committment.  It is, however, a fact 
that the statement is NOT a grant.  It is a committment for a future action.

As I have stated here several times, I have absolutely no problems with 
the WSS-TC IPR statement.  My problems are with those that found that 
statement perfectly acceptable in another venue now asking for much more 
stringent IPR disclosures in this venue.
