Just another tibbit:

If you *had* contacted me about this, I would probably have said, "sure, 
just drop the last sentence of the first paragraph (ETOCOLORFULL) and 
drop the second paragraph (ETOLITTLECONTEXT or ENOTRELEVANT).  It kinda 
does reflect my beliefs.

However, I've already had a couple of queries about what the second 
paragraph was about. The reason it was there was because I believe we 
were all bombarded with a lot of complaining by Roland (Grown, Erk, 
etc.). I was only trying to thrown him a bone to acknowledge that there 
are a lot of issues which make things difficult for external community 
members.  It really isn't relative to the discussion at hand.  This 
should have been very clear, assuming you were presented with the full 
e-mail message.

Also, John,... you knew that a smaller group was looking at "draft 
opinions" (Garrett, Glenn, Roland, John and myself).  I looked at all of 
these iterations.  Not one of them had anything close to this 
quotation.  Can we say "blindsided"?

Finally, don't you remember the advice from Gingell: `Never say 
"putback" just before you go on vacation`?  Same applies to most 
e-mails.  :-)
