Fernando,
My to-do list included running your algorithm against the
same datasets. However, I just looked at your draft again and
it seems to be underspecified - you do not define what functions
F and G are. And I think it's stateful, because of the statement
"if(three-tuple is unique)".
All we are discussing is a non-normative suggested algorithm,
so this is not critical for the draft to go forward IMHO.
