If you would like to see the spec changed to remove various categories of functionality, then there is a defined process for that. You are free and indeed encouraged to follow it. If you would simply like to discuss that possibility, then feel free to do that well, but I would encourage you to change the subject line in such cases. In the meantime, please do not attempt to quash discussion of what is in the draft. Regards, Maciej
