I'm trying to do that review now and hope to have a more
definitive list (and probably submission-ready drafts of most of
the docs) late today.  Specifics...

Protocol: I'm studying Martin's comments about Section 4.1 of
Protocol and attempting a rewrite.  Other than that, I believe
that there are no outstanding issues vis-a-vis Protocol-15 that
need resolution.  I'd appreciate it is you would check that
against your notes.

Definitions: I think I've got all recent comments (except those
that were dismissed or rejected) incorporated, but am making a
pass to check.

Rationale: I have no requests for changes outstanding in my
list/queue.  There are several changes in the working version of
-12 relative to the posted -11.  While I fear that the lack of
comments is more because "no one has looked closely lately", I
will get -12 posted later this afternoon.

The biggest problem right now is that issues continue to come
up, including (or even "mostly") with very old text.  The
decision as to when we have passed the point of diminishing
returns is up to you.
