Re: [RPRWG] Could we discard old (often obsolete) comments?
David, many of us submitted comments under the assumption that our old
unaddressed comments would still stand. It is now too late to discard them
for draft 0.2. However, at next week's meeting we can decide how to proceed
for the next draft.
