Thanks Ziggy--very handy! There's only 3 from the list I'm looking after
(-data), here's their status:

Nate is redrafting this as we speak--we're probably just about ready to
freeze this.

There was quite a bit of discussion of various alternatives to this on list.
David--could you incorporate these ideas into the RFC and see if we can get
concensus.

Discussion on this one has died down... Nat--could you incorporate the
suggestions from the list and see if we can get this frozen?

All other -data RFCs are still under active development, but I've asked all
maintainers to have them frozen by next Wed (20/9) so that Larry has time to
think about them before his release of the draft language spec.
