         Or is reasonable given the number of changes sometimes
done to documents!  Anyway, the edited document is always fair
game after it is updated and published in the ID repository, and
will not proceed past WG last call unless there is consensus
on the document. So back to the original point, IMHO it does
seem as though Stewart is well within the letter of the law on
this one.
