Paul, and whoever the new team is, please don't bother to write a draft
days before the meeting. We are past the deadline for submission. It
will not get distributed. It will not be read.
Instead, please come to the meeting with a list of unresolved issues.
Let's tackle them, and THEN we should assign someone to write it up.

That is an issue we could raise. But I will note that is not what we
are doing for IPv6, so it may very well be a waste of time.
Let's keep SAIDs as SAIDs, and have other fields if we can articulate a
clear need for them.
As for versions, we haven't gotten version 1 done in 10 years. I don't
think we need to worry about version 2.
