Subject: Re: [wsrp] Purpose of Section 9?


I'm glad you brought this up, Subhu,

My thought is that perhaps we should ask for joint task group with 
WSS TC to craft and pretest a tech note. It would not be possible to 
build a deliverable in the v2.0 timeframe, IMO, but we could probably 
count on getting it done by end of year.

Ciao,
Rex
