I do agree with this technology assessment. And that this is an important point to consider in crafting the Guidelines provisions and language. On the other hand, I think it's debatable whether this is Requirements Doc content or Guidelines Doc content. So I think it's OK if it doesn't induce an edit in the requirements document at this time. Think issues list. Can we capture this thread to the issues list, where it has to show up on the agenda downstream; and with that let the Requirements Doc go forward to Public Draft on TR? For the record, I am so passsive-agressive that while I think there is a fatal problem with the statement "all options have to cover all information," I'm not arguing that this should be fixed before we hang the document on the TR page. It takes too much time to develop the necessary understanding and a consensus around some other statement we can actually evaluate and stick to.
