I definitely agree. I was just seeing some opposition from you and
seemant which seemed to indicate to me that you personally had some
feelings on the matter. If either of you do I think that we should nail
them down and get them ironed out before we present the document to the
greater dev community. It will make one less speed bump in what is sure
to be a bumpy ride.

Agreed. Once we are satisfied that it is as good as we can get it I'd
like to present it for comment (and amendment) on -dev. Remember
though...this list is public...so other interested parties should be
watching...

/me wonders why there are no non-trustee comments...
