As a person who pushed for the Internet-Draft deadline, I absolutely
agree. Two weeks would have been even better.

It is particularly important for those like KRE who are travelling long
distances.
On the other hand, KRE has previously announced that he refuses to take
a laptop on the road, merely because he doesn't like the operating
systems available. A laptop would solve many of his problems, and he'd
be able to read on the plane.

I agree. Fortunately, in this case there was the -00 draft. The -01
draft merely adds information from implementation experience, including
revised packet formats and editorial matters. I'll make sure we cover
those differences during the presentation for people who are only
familiar with the earlier draft. Thanks for the reminder.
