Being embroiled in a similar discussion right now in a different place, I'd sure like to know what that means:

-- we can't change anything substantive at all;

-- we're not going to extend it (I sure hope that is consensus);

-- we can't take out things that shouldn't be in there (UTF-32, anyone?);

-- we can't clarify ambiguities because there are implementations that solve them either way (duplicate keys?);

-- we can't do often-asked-for things like allow numbers on top (well, that is not quite consensus, maybe).

Grüße, Carsten
