A proposal: Can we list things with some weasel wording, like: Decide whether to deal with issue X (or whether issue X is in our scope...), so that "formally address" would be satisfied by deciding it wasn't something we were going to deal with? I would very much like to see someplace where we can record all possible open issues, knowing that some of them will not be resolved. My suggestion is intended to provide a way that we can put something onto this issues list without committing to resolving it before we're done. (I think it's good to know what we haven't dealt with, too.) Lynn
