Re: mobileOK basic issues

Muchos kudos to Dom for organizing these threads that do need to get
tied up so we can finally finish mobileOK Basic. I would also like to
agree on these on Thursday.

Agree with Dom.

Agree, while this is easier to adjust than the last issue, and has a
bigger impact, it also does not represent something that is broken. On
that basis I also strongly favor not continuing the change the spec.

Agree for the same reason.
