By the way, just to be clear: if we do vote and wsa:Action remains 
mandatory then I'm happy with that. As far as I'm concerned the issue 
would be closed and we should move on to other things. I'm assuming 
that the inverse situation would similarly hold, i.e., if it becomes 
optional the proponents of mandatory will consider it closed in the 
spirit of openness and togetherness. (Sorry if that starts to sound a 
bit like a 60's "love-in", but it's Saturday morning here and I'm 
suffering a little from the night before!)

Mark.
