Seems like they did get discussion in the related bugs, and in general the particular split applied seems like a reasonable attempt to compromise between different positions presented, though some of the details of the split strike me as odd. > > If folks were concerned about the details section earlier, this change > is so far beyond that change, as to make the removal of details > nothing more than a minor nuisance. In a way it's a much smaller change, since the total of all the split specs ends up producing the same implementation and author requirements, whereas removing <details> was non-editorial change. On the other hand, this change seems to have broken a bunch of cross- references, which makes it hard to find relevant definitions and requirements. In any case, I believe the mechanism of splitting the spec makes it relatively easy to change the split boundaries. So we can have the discussion now, if anyone has a problem with the specific way the split was done. Let's try to flush those issues out before publishing more Working Drafts, so we don't thrash the TR page if we change our minds about how to do this. Regards, Maciej
