Hi Thomas,

If you're willing to write up an alternative proposal for how this should
work, we'll take a look at it.  It stands the best chance of getting
implemented if you figure out a way of incremental implementation, since it
sounds like you're a proponent of a "go back to the drawing board" approach
to this.

I've put a placeholder for "Alternative B" here:

Anyone else who wants to take a stab at a specification should also feel
free to do so (as C, D, etc).  I think it's going to be a lot easier to
close this issue if we can discuss the merits of several complete competing
proposals than it will be if we're just debating whether to move forward
with a single proposal.

Rob
