The "late surprise" problem

[Harald Tveit Alvestrand]

rather than debating the problem, I decided to follow the time-honored 
principle of "when in doubt, do something", and created the 
"solutions at alvestrand.no" list.

Heading:

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL IETF ACTIVITY
The list is created to have an uniform redirection pointer for discussions 
that are thought to be inappropriate for the problem-statement WG's mailing 
list because it delves too deeply into "solution space". Discussions can be 
taken to other venues as appropriate.

And even that sounds far more official than it should.

I do NOT want to bias the outcome of the problem-statement WG's "how do we 
fix the problem" task, but it doesn't seem inappropriate to create one 
answer to this recurring question.

Note: I am NOT doing this with any of my official hats on!

                    Harald
