This is clearly the path of least resistance to achieve consensus too and 
ecumenical in this community to achieve a common agreement.  In this case less 
could be better (Mark Twain shorter please) but we need to be sure we do not 
have bugs and have to rev biz updates every 6 months if we are to ever get to a 
completed work.  Or maybe a completed work is not the objective but a living 
document?  I don't think our technical job will be that hard if we agree on 
scope and approach with the talent/knowledge on this list.
