This group might come to consensus on what we think users would understand and [try to] push that into user space, but in the end that's merely what we imagine would work based on our own experiences or extrapolations, and might actually make things worse. I'm not saying we shouldn't talk about it or even that we shouldn't try, but I am saying we'd better be pretty darned sure about the end result, and I'm not really sure how to go about doing that. -MSK
