The standards BOF at the Phoenix USENIX last week (mentioned
in Volume 11 Number 52) had a much higher attendance than previous
standards BOFs.  There were about fifty people there, most with
relevant questions, and some with answers.  It is not clear
that everyone was pleased with everything I and others told
them, but I think some now have a better idea of what is going on.

The twenty copies of the Rationale that I made beforehand
disappeared quickly, as did the thirty I made afterward,
and the forty copies of the draft standard.

I do not know to what to attribute this new, higher level
of interest on the part of USENIX attendees, but it was there.

Comments (preferably technical) from attendees?
