I'm still not following. Propose as what? Perhaps I have been confused because what we have in front of us is a proposal to publish a Working Draft. Meanwhile, we have people working on Issue 32. They aren't looking to rewrite the entire document. I'll note that the early drafts I have seen made by a number of members of the PFWG on how they would like to see summary handled involve coordinated changes to a number of different sections. I guess it comes down to what the meaning of "proposal" is. Ultimately, I see it as a set of diffs when applied to a document produces a new document. Such diffs need not be constrained by section boundaries. - Sam Ruby
