JJ,

I agree, when we do this, we will try to minimize impact to the draft, 
but there will be changes in the overall structure.  It will definitely 
be done in a way that does not change any of the normative requirements 
in the draft.

This will likely be the primary focus of the -03 version of the draft.

Regards,

Steve

Now is this statement grouping into a referenced section easy? I do not know. I hope this will not have a too large impact on the draft.
