	I'm about to make a very careful request and will preface it with
another request, and that is that you read my careful request carefully:

	The Postel Draft has been around for quite awhile and has been
discussed quite a bit.  I'm not looking to rehash, re-open, or re-explore
the fine-grained details of its pluses and minuses.

	I WOULD, however, like to get terse, direct, simple statements
about its perceived benefits and detriments.  I think it will help the
committee to get an aggregated view of the proposal's standing among the
Internet community.

	The sorts of factors being commented on might include:
administrative ease or overhead, legal and intellectual property adequacy
or lack, operations, human factors, social, ...

	But remember:  Terse, folks.  A few words.  2 lines at the most.
It's all been said before so no one needs to elaborate yet-again.

	Citations to online extensive discussions also would be helpful.

thanks.
