Hi,

It seems we're now just reiterating what has previously been discussed
*a lot*.  IMO, highest prio is to resolve any issues related to YLbis.
If we also need other clarifications to make the document easier to
understand, that's fine.  But I don't think we should fundamentally
change the solution that the WG agreed upon.
