Ouch. I find it a bit misleading to not treat the document in it's entirety... even if technically the GCD process defines it in a narrow scope... I feel it really breaks the spirit of consensus to present them altogether as a whole and complete document, but only decide on a portion of the document, and then record the whole and complete document as the results. Maybe this is a horrible analogy, but kind of feels like the disconnect between a GFDL licensed work with invariant sections, front cover texts and back cover tests. :) live well, vagrant p.s. Just now I noticed that "should" in the disapproval section is really standing out to me as something to be replaced with a stronger word in the future (e.g. "must")...
