Please don't take this the wrong way. I think it's great that all
aspects of DNSSEC is being investigated, but I really wondered (and
wonder) why people were still working on epsilon when NSEC3 is coming
"soon". Of course this is all religious discussions, and I was just
wondering if people really want _epsilon_ (and not questioning about
NSEC3). I guess it really shows people's different PoV.

I think some of the reasons why there's no input is that people
appreciate the quality of the work that's been done, or they don't
have enough time to read all drafts from the ietf-groups they are
interested in, or they dont understand the document but still think
it's important. I am probably category 1 & 2 myself (and this lists
teleconf always surprises me in the middle of dinner).
