Urgh, no:-)

More or less.

There will of course need to be a discussion about WG
adoption of a draft but IIUC the goal will be for that to
basically start from the current bis draft. What I don't
know is whether or not there are parts in the current draft
that a WG would rather not have and how that might affect
people's opinions on adoption. I do believe a WG would want
almost all of the bis text so starting from testing that
(via a WG adoption discussion) seems like a plan to me.
But again, that's getting a bit ahead of ourselves.

Feel free to suggest some words pointing out it's the
latter. (Or I can try later on, if that's better.)

Cheers,
S.
