VOEvent v2.0 is ready for prime time

[Mike Fitzpatrick]

Let me pose a different reality check:  If we get to RFC and there is still
debate
about Reference in the comments, how will they be addressed to everyone's
satisfaction?

The flavor of discussion certainly sounds like WG material but I agree with
Norman that it is something that should be easily resolved so we can move
forward.  Roy's comment about what a <Param> without a required name/value
attribute means is more what I'd expect for RFC comments.
