I think its a good idea to get this out to the user list - but I don;t think it should be under the banner of A5. A5 implies an inconsitency with A4 - when in fact much of the A5 discussion has been about evolution and the majority of that evolution is within the scope of A4. I would relly like the "request-for-information" to be neutrual relative to version issues - structured around evolutiojn, enhancement, etc. - but no implication of a version jump.
