How about posting a working draft to the mailing list (not necessarily to
the Web page) and let some of the people here -- like me -- "alpha-test"
it.  If you prefer to do that with private mailings, that's OK in my book.

This is the way I'm used to dealing with ideas in the various standards
committees I sit on.  It works, and it helps to keep the flamage down to
something that asbestos can handle...
