Oops! We forgot to put the pwg@pwg.org as a DL for comments on
the IPP Internet draft. So the four authors will be receiving comments,
since that was the only DL listed on the Internet Draft.

When we do, we should forward to the ipp DL. So here's the first
such comment that we received. We should draft some answers.
