Quick follow-up: I have suggested to Fernando the alternative of  
including a short section of text on just this issue in the document  
itself, instead of referencing a PDF that includes a lot of other test  
(the PDF is basically what used to be appendix A, which was removed  
based on WG feedback). But that is also not aligned with prior WG  
consensus, since it would move some text back that we had removed.

Basically, David's comment is asking for some text that WG consensus  
had removed from the document, and we need to come to an agreement on  
whether we want to revisit this consensus and add some text or point  
to another document, or if we want to tell David that he's on the  
rough side of the consensus.

Feedback, please?

Lars
