Thank you to everyone who submitted comments and bugs. :)

The bugzilla bugs with the spec itself, targetted to 1.1, are now all resolved, and written comments provided so far by email have been addressed to the best of my knowledge.

New version of the .doc and .pdf has been uploaded to

Current version is:
