I am opposed to sending the current drafts of the Model & Semantics
document and Protocol Specification document to the IESG for last
call. As I expressed in Maui, I believe that we have too many
issues with the current drafts, with the XML encoding issue only
being one of them.

I would also agree with Josh Cohen's comments... my recollection
was that we agreed that we had a "rough consensus", and that the
minority position on XML encoding would at least be noted as we
moved forward in the process. In effect, we agreed to disagree,
with the discussion moving on to take place at the next higher level,
IESG last call. I presume that the IESG can make the determination
if we have sufficient consensus to move this on to Proposed Standard.
