Raj, about this, I know I wanted to review some of specs presented but the
time allowed was too short
for someone that is as booked as I am.
It seems to me the spec closed development goes on for a long time, would
it be possible to
get a couple of months of open comments?
I know it seems a lot, but it also takes a good full day to just give a
cursory look at the non
trivial specs (the REST services one is an exception in a bad way, so large
that to read and
understand it all it would take a few days).

Cheers
Andrea
