Would anybody like to discuss this on a conference call on say 28th
Dec, to see if we can agree a way forwards? I feel certain that we can
work through any difficulties and agree a minimal subset for change.
All comers welcome, just contact me offlist for details.

I've got literally nothing riding on this, other than my desire for

nobody else does.
