So I believe this is now the last outstanding question from the last
call comments that we still have open.

There were some concerns raised about this wording, but my questions
about exactly what the problem Ian had with it was have so far gone
unanswered, which makes it a bit tricky to try to address whatever
they really were, and I haven't seen a proposed alternative wording
that covers the problem Ralph and I saw with the initial proposed
edit leaving it without a rationale (which this version tried to fix).

So if someone still thinks this says something that it shouldn't, or
isn't properly clear about what it does say, could you please give
us a sufficient explanation of that so we can understand and fix the
problem, or propose an alternative wording that you think does which
we can discuss.

Otherwise, this is so far the closest to what I think was originally
intended that we have on the table to accept.

If we get this one out of the way now, I think we're nearly done.

  Thanks,
