I'm wondering what "incremental and moderate" extension means? Does it mean "completely backwards compatible" or can it mean completely new features including ones which subsume existing ones (I'm specifically interested in seeing SPJ's records proposal included, and a new module system).

I was intentionally not addressing that question, because it's pretty much The Question. I certainly don't know the answer; just trying to figure out who wants to get involved, as a first step. I think everyone is agreed, though, that any process is going to be a very open one. peace, isaac
