I apologize if this particular metaphor > was offensive to some. I don't think "offensive" is an adjective that could appply in any way to your original prose. Of course, I could be wrong here since I'm not a native english speaker. FWIW, I did take your words as a metaphor, nothing more. And I was really surprised to read "Ratchet the rhetoric down" since the main tool we *all* use in standardization *is* rhetoric, and not always based on purely technical arguments. Not worth a "public warning", and too great power given to chairs w/o control, IMHO. </Daniel>
