1.  Though I am certainly not skilled about the details, my observation of 
the discussions for at least the last year make it clear that no one is 
going to come up with a feasible solution that achieves consensus in this 
group.

2.  It has become quite clear to me that this task is entirely outside the 
scope of this group.  The task is a good and useful task.  However it is 
neither good nor useful NOR NECESSARY for this group to pursue it.

Ignoring #2 is one of the reasons this group is taking 3-4 times longer 
than it should.
