As currently written, I believe Tony's proposal does not meet the formal criteria for Change Proposals. There is no clearly identified summary or rationale (while the proposal does have rationale for "Why Distributed Extensibility Matters", it does not have rationale for the specific proposal in the spec). It also does not seem to have the level of detail that we would ideally like to see for Change Proposals on this issue. For example, the necessary changes to parsing and document conformance are not spelled out. The Chairs would be happy to see a revised version of Tony's proposal submitted as at least one of the proposals for this issue. Regards, Maciej
