    Please review the following as updates from Geoge to the draft

    It's nice to see that the work done by the ITU-T on CAP (especially the
    addition of ASN.1 binary encodings as an alternative to XML) is being
    recognized and promoted at this level.  I will let the ITU-T folks know
    about Eliot's presentation.
