>1.  The release confuses clear IEEE 802 branding.  It should not

>group 802.11T" and "IEEE 802.11t Task Group" as confusing.  While
>some of us identify our subgroups with the project name, I don't

>group driving the project is IEEE 802.11 TG-T (or pick some other
>abbreviation that isn't like the name of a project).

>2.  Inconsistent placement of "P".  Early on, it is properly located
>(IEEE P802.11.2) but toward the end it is improperly located (PIEEE
>802.11.2).  Correct the instances of the latter.

>3.  I believe the circle R is improperly used near the bottom of the
