I thought I had altered that, I may have forgotten to. Yes, it's indicating the legacy material is in a separate spec, because originally that's what we had. Needs to be redone.

I would agree.

I've substantially altered the flow of that content and eliminated the latter two sections entirely, so this is not entirely applicable, but the general suggestion you're making is to move what I put in 7.6 back up into a new sub-section.

My concern with this is that the 4th layer of sections are vary hard to see in context because of the font. My changes promoted them to layer 3.

I'm not enthusiastic about taking on another big revamp right this second, so if somebody else is willing to take a whack, I would prefer that. In the meantime, I'll try and get the TBD sections I left undone checked in tonight, and we can divvy up next steps tomorrow morning.

But I think some of this depends on decisions about the way we cover Selection and Verification. Right now, they're done as dedicated elements, and I'm suggesting that for consistency we redo them as new "Algorithm" types, which means they'd end up largely down below in section 7.
