This was a good idea 6 months ago. And it's the action item that Bellovin 
took away from Wye River, which we didn't get done.

At this moment, I think we the IETF need (badly) to close the problem 
issues document. So I think it may be a good idea for each of us to write 
the list (it always is - doing that is how I 
got<http://www.alvestrand.no/ietf/chair/what-is-wrong.html> and from there 
most of my constructive proposals for changes to the issues document), but 
we should then match it up with the issues document with the mindset of "is 
it a show-stopper that this issue is not mentioned?"

When doing this, I also recommend reading the long list of issues from the 
-00 draft, and remembering that the WG seems to think that everything there 
is already subsumed into the "bigger problems".
