If we have a patent lawyer on the WG (ie, mailing list) and who is
willing to comments and give feedback to the design, the author(s) of
various drafts would definately be interested in their comments.

The problem is AFAIS, we do not have one. If you know of any patent
lawyer(s) who is willing to contribute their time and effort to the WG,
please invite them to the WG.
