You're missing the point.

It's hard to evaluate the proposal for technical purposes the way you've 
written it. Many of the people on this list, including me, are very busy 
people and really don't have the time to wade through a proposal that's 
deliberately written in an obfuscatory fashion.

The problem has nothing to do with the final language; it's about 
communicating proposals for the people on this list.
