Below, I've attached the differences in 'cvs diff' format.  These are 
with respect to cvs revision 1.2720.

If a poll still turns out to be necessary (i.e, John does not withdraw 
his objection), the results will be published alongside Ian's draft for 
people to chose from.  They will be able to see the diffs in various 
levels of detail and be able to make an informed decision on the matter.

My intent is to allow both to make changes, either editorial (e.g. the 
spelling of Braille) or substantive (possibly towards either clarifying 
or closing the differences between the two approaches).  Either will be 
able to select individual diffs to include from the other if they so 
chose (e.g., if Ian makes unrelated changes, John may elect to pick them 
up).
