Re: [btns] I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-btns-prob-and-applic-07.txt

The changes in this version of the PS/AS draft primarily respond to
Steve Kent's IETF last call comments.  Due to the extensive nature
of the changes, I believe the WG chairs plan to hold another WG
Last Call.  On behalf of the draft authors, I apologize for the
delay in producing this draft revision.

Thanks,
--David
