Hi Warren,

Thanks for the encouragement.  (As a side note, the document also says
"ADs are careful and considered when balloting DISCUSS".  It is not clear
to me whether this statement is prescriptive or descriptive, and I'm not
sure to what extent it matches the reality.)

> One major concern of mine is that it says: "Updates: 8967 (if approved)"

As mentioned in an earlier reply, this is a mistake.  Sorry for that.

Fully agreed.  I'll ask Donald for advice whether it should Update 8966 or
not update anything.  (My preference is the former.)
