[sigcomm] considerations for reviewing extended papers

I would absolutely agree with this.  Even if something goes to a 
workshop versus a conference, the identical paper wouldn't be 
appropriate for another venue.  If the earlier one was preliminary and 
it was expanded, then there should be a good delta. 

The only real question was whether there are types of publication that 
shouldn't count in that equation.  Internet-drafts and TRs were posed as 
that sort of semi-publication.  Unrefereed (or *very* lightly refereed) 
publications such as Operating Systems Review would seem to be similar 
in that sense.
