We might reach consensus that it's OK to release change control over
the Tao (although I'm not sure I agree with that - what's so hard about
keeping it under an RFC-like license?).

Nothing is "hard" about it. The question is whether granting a different 
license will help the goals of the Tao more than the current license. Many people 
(including me, the current editor) think that a lighter-weight license would get the Tao 
read by more people.

Can you elaborate on why the license makes a difference?
