In the spirit of tiptoeing around the situation some more, I'd like to
point out that Working Drafts are NEVER normative. Only
Recommendations are.
I understand the arguments for sync and I understand the arguments for
splits. But there's no reason we have to decide now. Since this WG is
populated with people who have enough time on their hands to discuss
issues of little relevance to the actual technologies, paying
attention to an extra document shouldn't tax anyone's resources. So
push the draft out and see how things go. No kitten will be harmed.
