It is the opinion of the co-chairs at this time (before the end of last

Isn't there also IPR associated with the -core document?
It's my understanding (based in part on a recent clarification by Mr.
Katz as requested by Yakov and others) that -core in isolation is
unencumbered.
I suggested a few weeks ago that if the IPR was truly a show-stopper
that we may want to consider just going ahead without the document
embodying PRA; I'm still okay with that solution. I'll need to think a
bit about Andrew's specific suggestion, but it looks fine on the face of
it.
