Jim: > I think we should wait to see if these get passed - I'm not yet > convinced that these are not passable Martin has indicated to me that he would be happy with a single system that passes these tests. Other HP developers have heard informally from other groups who seem to believe that the current DL profile is implementable, which is part of the reason for our surprise. I take the action to propose reclassifying these to be withdrawn, for now at least. > p.s.

While this would require a second last call, we could then go straight into PR without another CR. (Note: I do not know whether HP would want this or not - I have heard arguments both ways). - add sufficient health warnings to the guide (where 'sufficient' would be a topic of debate) and reply again indicating that these are the main defence against Martin's concerns about the implementability of DL I would like to see test results from the heavyweights: Racer, Cerebra etc. Jeremy Jeremy
