As I said earlier, I can live with almost anything if it is
correct and allows us to move forward. I am, however, getting
more concerned about the consequences to the virtual 5322bis and
its future instantiation if we go down these paths. I would
really not like to be the relevant AD (or Pete-bis) trying to
defend leaving the explanation and reference out of 5322bis
given that they were important enough to include in this
document and, if the explanation and reference go into 5322bis,
why a large series of other references and explanations should
not be included. I'd be a tad happier if this explanatory stuff
when into an appendix rather than the text.
The job of the current draft is to be sufficient to its purpose. Its
purpose is to augment a base document with a specific revision.
An update segment document does not typically have the purpose of
including extensive annotations for possible later use, attempting to
anticipate or hypothesize later editing efforts, to revise the base
document.
