So noted - added to my list of pending for issues list update

I'm  very sympathetic to the concerns you raise and like your split into
three areas.  The good news is that the core group has some flexibility
as to how it structures its output.  For example, its been suggested
that model and syntax be split into separate documents, and also that
things like containers be split out.  I'm hoping that its an advantage
that the core group is to cover all these areas so that we can take an
overall view of how best to structure the specifications.
