This paragraph (minus few mods) has been in the draft since 00, while 
comments only came on 05/06. So, no, this paragraph is not here to blunt 
some of the type of criticism you and others have voice.

This is definitely not the spirit in which I and the other authors of 
this document have written it.

Best regards,
Martin
