I agree. This discussion should be closed.
Even if we all agree this is a good idea for A draft, it's
not relevant to OUR draft. Once the current draft is finished
then we can move on to this sort of business. Getting dragged
into these discussions is what got us so screwed up in the first
place. Please, let's drop it or move it to a usenet-futures list.

Your Chair
