The wireless LAN can be useful for checking the mailing list archive (if 
there is one) to check what the WG decided the last time a particular 
issue came up, and why.  It's sometimes possible to download an archive in 
advance (I did it once), but it's less practical than downloading all the 
I-Ds.
