May I suggest that that is not a particularly helpful way to run a Working
Group. We are supposed to be cooperating in writing a draft, not in trying
to guess what the editor may or may not have done.

For example, On Jan 2nd I reported a Y2K bug in the reference
implementation, together with a fix. No response. Was my fix correct? Has
it been incorporated? No! Don't tell me to go download the reference
implementation again to see if it has been done - that is exactly what I
do *not* mean by "helpful" above.
