I haven't followed up directly with Ed, but I think I can clarify myself
here.  Yesterday in the inception meeting for 2007/132 I made a comment
about something being private which seemed to make Ed uncomfortable.  There
was not time to explore that issue then, but now I think I understand it.
I didn't realize until just now that Volatile is in the Public set of
interface classifications as opposed to the Private set.  Now that I
understand that, I agree that it would not be appropriate to take a Public
interface Private.  For our interfaces which are Volatile, it appears we
can change or remove them at any time for any reason, which was what I
wanted.  Sorry for not being fully up to speed on the new classifications.
