As chair of this list, I just want to step in and say: Everyone's entitled to their idea. I'm sure Michael is smart enough to hear others' concerns and note them in the RFC. In fact, maybe he'll end up modifying it in a way so that the next version is more flexibile; perhaps adding an ":implicit" sub attribute or something. Or, Michael might decide to withdraw the RFC. Regardless, no reason to beat him up too bad. I think he gets the point that many see problems with the RFC as presented. -Nate
