That seems like a good idea. It will be useful to have statements of what is actually the case. Increasingly, I begin to wonder if this should be seen as a fork. I've been arguing the toss over a lot of these new proposals, on the grounds that they might as well be "done right" if at all, but I'm also beginning to wonder whether I'd actually be prepared to update to software that conforms to it, if/when anybody changes the code to do so. -- Richard Robinson "The whole plan hinged upon the natural curiosity of potatoes" - S.
