Keeping arguing isn' sufficient to identify a real flaw.
In all fairness, I believe that all real points you raised were covered, either 
by clarifications or with complements in the design, and that absence of flaws 
will be verified on actual implementations. 

Now, I think time has now come to calm down, and apply with the chair's 
announced plan before the meeting in case no single choice would emerge: have 
all documents published as WG drafts on experimental track.
