I do right now think there would be downsides for my WG with this
setup, but i would like to encourage my WG to evaluate and chime in (i
know MichaelR seems to like it), and i would certainly try to go to
WG meetings where this is being attempted at 105 to gain actual
experience.

Please send a reminder to this list which WGs will use this 
if the experiment is happening.

Cheers
