s/CR15/CR4/.  The whole reason for CR15 is that the CR4 paragraph didn't
make sense.

BTW, I don't think that was my approach, but Anish may well have said that.

Not sure what the context of that was.  My main point was that we
/don't/ really define anonymous outside the core examples of [reply
endpoint], [fault endpoint] and [destination], and then only in a
limited context.
