Dear colleagues,

Loathe as I am to endure this again, the reverse mapping problems keep
cropping up, and I keep feeling like a bunch of distinctions in the
failed reverse-mapping-considerations draft [1] were helpful to making
some things clearer.

Am I the only one?  If not, please send your remarks to the effect
that at least something there was worth doing (and specify what it
was).  You can do it off list.  If I get something that seems like
encouragement rather than hellfire v2, I'll poke Daniel and see
whether we can at least make those parts live again.
