First off, this is Bob's interpretation which he brought up on Friday. Yes, ideally I would have read the original text during the discussion period and commented on it, but I didn't. I think the 3 month period for implementation (that's mostly done) and testing gives a very reasonable time period to absorb the most lax of interpretations. I think it would be a shame to delay the timeline for this, but I also think it would be a shame for the timeline - that was *clearly* not designed to create de-facto bias towards one RFC or the other - to do exactly that. Even if we were to push the timeline out by a bit, how do we do it? An RFC with a minimum discussion period of two weeks and another week for a vote? That kind of defeats the purpose. A gentlemen's agreement? Something else? Zeev
