And just to keep things real, can you cite some examples of the effect 
you are concerned about?

If we accept the existing dogma that draft indicates "more stable" and 
that Proposed indicates "less", then Jim shouldn't have to answer the 
above question because he is operating under that dogma.  That's a more 
fundamental debate that should take place elsewhere (and has, to no 
one's benefit).


Eliot, any of us can raise a concern.  There is an infinite number of them to 
choose from.  Many concerns that are logical and appear reasonable actually do 
not turn out to be hold true.  Lest we constantly be chasing fears that lack 
substance, experience is the filter to aid distinguishing among concerns.

Jim is clearly concerned about more that changing the label, even though the 
label is defined to mean 'more stable'.

Absent details and examples to substantiate it, how are we to take his concern 
and apply it to anything specific?
