Our main Montreal agenda is for a) finishing base and b) kicking
off SSP-related discussions. (a) seems nicely in-hand.

I suggest that we explicitly solicit some discussion in the meeting with both
Security and DNS experts.  We have made some assumptions about what is likely to
be acceptable to each of those communities, yet I suspect we do not have much
feedback yet about their limits.

(I suspect we are in quite good shape, with respect to the Security folks, but I
find myself worried about the DNS constituency.)

So, for example, the DNS purists could well take exception to the choice we have
made for an initial TXT record, with a new RR outside the critical path of 
-base.

Montreal could give us some valuable insight into the likely problems we will or
will not have in getting -base approved.

Alternatively, we could go through working group last call, IETF last call, and
IESG push-back.  For any interesting push-back, we are probably looking at
delays in the range of 6 months.  (That estimate is, of course, not merely
theoretical.)
