Reasonable points, but just one caveat.

I hope we (as a WG) don't go down the road of asking the
authors of the various drafts to make them
section-by-section comparable. The problem with that is
that all the authors are smart folks who'll find a way
to include whatever's required, so the end result would
be a harder choice than we now face, between proposals
where there are few substantive but numerous "style"
differences. That'd also risk adding features that are
not really needed too, though in this case maybe that's
less of an issue.

The above behaviour has been seen before, for me most
recently in the now-closed NEA WG. In the end, that WG
got stuck, despite goodwill and good chairing and had to
ask their AD to just pick a winner, there being no
remaining substantive differences between their two "live"
proposals that affected folks technical opinions.

So I hope (and I think, since I asked 'em:-) the WG chairs
don't want to have that kind of beauty contest.

Cheers,
S.
