Thanks for the quick reply.

I think that would be an improvement, but if it was clear that there's a
reason to include them in a document being published now, that might be
useful to include.

If it's possible that some of these items might be significantly re-thought
after further study, or even dropped, that seems unhelpful to a reader in
five years.
