LH>Alternative: It might be cleaner to split out 4th bullet of above
LH>CP1.1 as new-CP1.2 (Priority 1)...

I like the alternative, because when I read this, I see
   * pick a quantum level
   * pick a quantum level
   * pick a quantum level
   * commit to have some TM; zero not allowed
where the 4th bullet breaks the parallel structure. Some specs morph
drastically from charter time to CR, so I think that the WG can't
make a charter-time commitment that will be measurable at a certain
level of detail. Let's split out the 4th one just because it will
have a separate criterion for attainment.
