The slight difference, of course, is that I enumerated bits of
rationale that were actually uttered in that
discussion, rather than colorful suggestions of how the majority of
LEWG must think that widespread
abuse of a variant of cocaine is the sole reason why such a proposal
even came to their plate.

Now, that *is* an invitation to dance. :D I shall, however, mostly
pass the opportunity.
In case you wish to ask me what hints I will and will not consider
when evaluating whether to propose
some hypothetical thing to the committee, feel free to ask for
elaboration privately.

There's nothing rude in providing information that the committee may
not have been aware of
about compatibility issues with new standards.
