If you really mean "identity" (as opposed to "equality"), I suspect it won't
happen in this release.  However, if you find "equality" acceptable, it can
possibly be done, especially if other issues make it necessary to have another
"last call" cycle before going to CR.  Strictly my personal opinion.
