Since Owen is already working the AC to try and rush this through
privately, let me clarify; these changes are posted to PPML less than
48 hours which doesn't seem like an adequate amount of time to
address. It also seems clear that some advocates are willing to do
_anything_ to get this through including shifting their opinion and
ignoring the feedback on this list. That alone should be enough to
stall this for a bit and to answer the significant unanswered
questions.

I'm still very curious and wouldn't mind seeing Bill or Owen explain
how we've reached anything near consensus. Unless there's a dramatic
shift in the attitude of posters to this thread, I'm planning on
suggesting that the AC postpone until a later date.

Best,
