Re: [Nea] Protocol names, titles & filenames for PA & PB protocol drafts

["Paul Sangster" <Paul_Sangster at symantec.com>]

I too wondered about the names (PA-TNC, PB-TNC) whether these make sense
for IETF specs.  I too think the strategy makes good sense as does
stating the linkage between the org's standards in the specs so
customers know we're addressing their concern and working together.  It
also makes sense to credit the origin of the specs and including an
informal ref.  Not sure we need to do a lot more.

I suspect the core question is PA or PA-TNC (right?).  I don't have a
strong preference since they are just names.
