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.
