[cgl_discussion] Proposed Feature Set list

[Rod.VanMeter at nokia.com]

Based on the excellent work by Dave and Ram, this is what I
see as the current set of Feature Sets.  If you want to comment,
now is your chance.  This list, with any modifications proposed
here, is what I want to take to the Tech Board on Tuesday.
