The question before the working group: assuming no technical errors 
with the above, is there anybody who vehemently objects with this 
proposal?

If patent-encumbered stuff (PRA) is any part of the specification (and I
see it mentioned in your proposal), then the ASF (including the
SpamAssassin and JAMES projects) vehemently objects.

Given that there is a lack of consensus on PRA, it seems like the best
course is drop PRA entirely and allow the specification authors to
revise things a bit more freely again.
