On the matter of removing the tokenizer approach, there was VERY strong

That isn't what Myers said in March 1996. Nor is it what Resnick said in
December 1996.

The DRUMS working group deliberated on this point quite carefully -- 

When? Where in the DRUMS archives can we find the public record of these
deliberations?

The December 1996 discussion involved precisely six people: three who
strongly objected to Resnick's removal of the tokenizer; two who merely
said that they wanted a formal grammar; and Resnick.
