Good engineers are detail oriented.  Even when they shouldn't be.

I think that you and I agreed that.  However, if we are to truly build
WG consensus on this issue, it's only fair that we allow supporters
of alternatives to speak their piece.  I'm hoping that if there are
any such folks, they will speak up, so that we are not accused later
of shouting them down.

I think that the cart belongs behind the horse.  Until we get rough 
consensus on the architecture and make a decision, all other energies
are a distraction from that milestone.
