>If not, let's give this the >same treatment that we gave to ??. I believe your suggestion of tabling a proposal essentially sight unseen constitutes bad precedent. It should be tabled if it is found to be technically undesirable after careful analysis. I've pointed out some problems with it. Do these problems matter, or would you have us not pursue the matter merely to avoid hurting my feelings? That would be terrible. Please don't do that. We haven't heard from Sarathy on this yet. I really don't find it's something worth jumping up and down about. I am not committed to pushing through any particular agenda here, or any precise implementation. I do think there are concerns that should be duly considered before any commitment is made. I would be delighted to hear that the things that appear worrisome are no grave matter. --tom
