[snip - remainder of draft] The content of that read more like a position statment than a any kind of poll. It seemed to focus a great deal on the claimed benefits of @summary and the reasons it should be conforming, with no mention of any of the counter claims or rebuttals. Having such a position statement is certainly useful, and it would be useful if we also had a similar position statement(s) outlining the opposing viewpoints. But I don't think such a thing is suitable for the questionnaire itself, which I thought was intended to determine the level of support for the various options to deal with @summary. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
