Dear all,

Bob and I did our best to enhance the readability of the draft and make 
the recommendations more clear. Please check the draft and comment on 
the clarity and structure of the presentation. We are hoping to get to 
WGLC soon.

Note that I have held Bob back in cutting text out, in order to document 
the issues as well as possible, to have a place where the issue is 
discussed in depth (instead of emails on some mailing list). Therefore 
the draft has not become shorter but hopefully more clear.

Regards,
Jukka
