*IF* we were to concentrate on the format and not processes,
much of the recent bickering would be moot. However, as they
currently stand, the Lindsey drafts do concentrate on processes
(duties of this widget, duties of that gizmo, etc.) rather than
format. I'd support tossing that out in favor of simply
describing the format with minimal wording as necessary
defining responsibility for ensuring compliance (resting
with the poster in many cases) if that would help us to move
forward.
