That doesn't answer any of my questions.

Er, sorry, I suppose it does answer the first (except that I'm not
aware of anything in 2-D that's not also in 3-D).  But the second

We had that discussion and decided to go for a consolidated spec. Unless there are new arguments for re-opening the discussion, I think we should stick to our decision.
