To be honest, when Bradd first started raising serious objections, it was done in such a strident manner, by someone I was unfamiliar with, that I was inclined to ignore them on the assumption that if no-one agreed with him, the issue would die down. It now looks as though that didn't happen... It seems to me if there's going to be major contesting starting at this late stage, there's a case for having some substantive discussion about it before simply withdrawing the SRFI. Otherwise, a precedent is created in which the SRFI process can be sabotaged by sustained last-minute attacks. I've been monitoring this SRFI loosely since at least May, but unfortunately, haven't had time to filter the meaningful content out of the flurry of low-signal-to-noise-ratio activity over the last week or so. I'm looking at it now. Anton
