Based on Matt's latest comments on this thread, it appears that he, for one, agrees that illustrations should be available for the guidelines but does not accept the contention that all checkpoints can or should be illustrated. Thus it can't be said that there is consensus within the working group over the extent to which illustrations are necessary, and in respect of which checkpoints. It is this which I was trying to express in my summary, without expressing any personal opinion on the matter. After all, this summary was written in my official capacity and I try carefully to delineate (1) an assessment of where agreements and differences of opinion lie, for the purpose of clarifying and facilitating the discussion; and (2) my substantive views on the issues before the working group.
