[Radioig] Validation of the Obscore radio extension Note : still stalled

[Alessandra Zanichelli]

Dear Mireille and all,
Vincenzo and I had a look at the document and produced a number of 
comments (mostly style-related). We were not able to access the wiki and 
post the comments directly at the radio IG page, thus we are sharing 
with you a link to a google document:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z60LS5u66Idc8nET8o-kvEbrOsV7lFmrHdCDLBj_XzI/edit?usp=sharing

We hope these comments may be useful.

Cheers,
Alessandra & Vincenzo
