Yeah although extrapolation from the ICANN experience with the
IANA IDNA database and the tone of complaints from that
direction in combination with how well we seem to be doing about
processing, and getting meaningful consensus for, I18n documents
more generally, it would be reasonable to translate that
statement as something involving "never".  Given the statement,
I don't see it as useful to further hold up the PRECIS
documents, especially because they are a clear improvement over
their predecessors, but, IMO, we had better recognize, soon,
that we have a problem and start doing something about it.

best,
