Please raise them at a Council meeting - this is especially important if they're during a Last Call or submission period. Also let the Council know if you feel you're not getting clear enough answers even if the authors are responding. Ultimately, nobody keeps tabs on which of your questions are or are not answered to your satisfaction except you - anything else would be impractical. Most of the time (possibly even all the time) this is just an oversight from the authors, but the Council can nudge people (as can the Editors, and they've nudged me before). As a last resort, unanswered questions could be reason enough to block a XEP, although the Council could equally well decide the questions were unimportant. If you can't attend a Council meeting for some reason (they're nearly every week on Wednesday at 1500Z), mail standards@ and/or council@, and/or join the Council and/or XSF chatroom at any time and let people know. Thanks, Dave.
