Given the dearth of incidents when output of a working group so 
surprised members when it became an RFC, I'd argue that'd be a bad trade 
off against the readability that the RPC helps us gain.  And yes, there 
was ONE incident in the early 1990s.  We've discussed it before.  In 
fact we discussed it then.  That makes me wonder what all the fuss is about.
