That is not true, and I can speak for myself better than you can. It's also
very hostile, and I don't appreciate that.

I have had several personal constraints that have prevented me from moving
on this sooner. I'm not going to apologize for that because it's life. I
have dealt with those constraints and I am continuing to move forward on my
commitment to this.

ISO, just a clear webpage like markua. You, programmers, probably have a
draft of what attributes use, etc. just ordering, cleaning it up a little
and uploading to a webpage.

I understand where you're coming from, but the reality is that its simply
naive. If a spec is done this way, it will be meaningless. It could also
run into some serious legal trouble (hence why we need an entity like
Eclipse to help with that). We want the spec to mean something. We NEED it
to mean something. And, therefore, our plan is to do it right.

There are also a lot of nuance to deal with in the language and I want to
make sure we give those proper discuss. I'm not just going to rubber stamp
a spec based on how the implementations work, because that will either set
us back or cause the language to be stuck in the past.

I'm going to defer all other replies until next week because I have work I
have to finish this week.
