The "new information" here is that someone outside our group took a look at the design resulting from the previous decision and said that it was a mess. That is not of itself compelling, but I think it's significant because I think that within the group we've got to a stage that we feel unable to challenge hard-won consensus. I think that it's significant that someone outside the group felt strongly enough to raise an issue that seems to have some resonance within the group. None of these are sufficient reasons to make the changes suggested, but I think they are sufficient to suggest reconsideration. #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org> PGP: 0FAA 69FF C083 000B A2E9 A131 01B9 1C7A DBCA CB5E
