Actually, 10,000 comments on a 6,000 page spec doesn't sound like a large
number to me. If I had less than two comments per page on a book or spec I
had submitted for technical review, I would be concerned that the review
wasn't thorough enough. Perhaps people were holding back because they don't
want to provide MS with a free QA service.
