Do you think it is okay to capture the changes we have made and agreed upon so 
far so we can submit -08 and wait for other WG members to comment on this issue?

What you are suggesting is a lot change that what was previously agreed upon. 
No one was really in favor of having a third document (your OAM reference below 
(3)). 

Also the chairs didn’t suggest any changes, it was Luigi (acting as a document 
shepherd). I am not sure the same comment came from Joel, either publicly or 
privately.
