Sure.  I appreciate that.  Maybe having a few minutes to discuss this will help us decide whether or not holding to our positions is worthwhile.

BTW, part of my motivation is a (small) reduction in the size of the boilerplate.  I can probably find more aggressive edits if people were amenable to further changes.  "THIS IS A DRAFT" might be small enough to be noticed.  But I wanted to test the waters more than anything else.
