It's not clear to me from what you've said whether you think that
changing just the name of the document would achieve this goal, or
if you think that there is material that would in that case be
removed from the document (to which Roy has already stated his
objections).

Before I'd say whether this works or not, I'd want to see more
specifically what you are proposing -- because I suspect that 
worldviews are sufficiently at odds that there isn't agreement
on what this document _should_ look like.

Leslie.
