General comment on draft-ietf-problem-statement-00.txt

[Spencer Dawkins]

I agree with Keith that there probably ARE mis-characterizations 
and omissions in the draft, especially in the detailed descriptions 
(there was no admission control, right), but would suggest that we 
try to minimize the time we spend fixing mis-characterizations and 
omissions in anticipation that the Solutions team will use the Problem 
draft as a starting point, and choose the parts they can imagine 
solutions for - so there will be a filter at that point, in any case.

Actual libel and hallucination needs to be fixed, especially in our 
root cause analysis section, but I think there's a strong case for 
"good enough for publication" in this case. Matching what PS was 
supposed to be for protocols?
