A reminder: Please limit suggestions at this date to substantive changes; I'm going to be pretty draconian on nits in the next draft. I do not want to take of introducing new problems in the draft when fixing existing ones. So rewrites, particularly that add sentences that may cause interactions that did not exist before, are likely to be frowned on by the editor this time around. If we feel more wordsmithing is needed, we can do it between proposed standard and draft standard. As to the particular suggestion, it fails one test at least: A famous individual once wrote (don't have my Bartlett's quotations handy, so I won't have it right) something like: 'My apologies for such a long letter; I was too busy to write a short one.' Shorter is usually (not always) better. Fewer words to misinterpret. - Jim Gettys
