Re: [802SEC] IEEE model P&P

I a standard, you can add notes.  In the balloting phase of the P&P, you 
could retain the notes from the baseline P&P, seeking approval of the 
text, minus these editorial notes.  I found that reading the notes in 
the baseline P&P helped me to understand the constraints that 802 is under.

After approval of the changes, the final P&P would delete these 
editorial comments.

Just a suggestion.
