Harry, please could you provide pointers to back up your line of argument.

IMHO AS2 is a standards quality piece of work, if it's not CR now, it's
close to.  As I, and others, have stated previously (eg in issue 44 and
issue 26), MF2 isnt of the same quality, and it's hard to see it getting
there by TPAC, tho such a commitment would be welcome.  Why not just action
issue 44, as it was once before, and close issue 45.

It would be a shame to hold up AS2 because MF isnt ready.
