	I had forgotten I had read this one.

	Its not that I'm not interested, however, I am struggling
	with the point of this document.

	Nope. Not at all. Rather, I would say it looks like a M&P
	document that many providers have, but I don't see it as
	an IETF document.

>>  - we're tired and we are not interested in reading?

	Tired yes, not interested in reading, no :-)

>> Pls answer/comment if at all possible.

	Done.

	Dave

	[BTW, everyone have a safe and happy new year. Dave]
