RE: ID-nits is not easy to find

["Wijnen, Bert (Bert)" <bwijnen@lucent.com>]

I completely agree, and I suspect (in fact have experienced)
that web pages about all sorts of things are difficult to
find. We should in fact have someone to review our ietf
web pages from a Human-factors/All-Intended-Users-perception
point of view.

Thanks,
Bert
