I think you are confusing the open items list with the TODO list. TODO
usually has some basis, while open items is just that, things we need to
decide on. Peter brought it up and wanted it on the list so I put it
on. I can be taken off just as easily. I put Peter's name on the item,
and a question mark. The open items list is just so we don't forget
things.
