I'm opposed to last minute additions to our agreed text.


  Huh.


Don't read anything more into my objections (altho I thought that response
would comme from Milton, not from you ;-)

I don't care about that, the idea (and correct me if I am wrong) is to
build  IG processes that are transparent, bottom up, blah, blah, blah.  My
point is that this example was  a short-circuit of our agreed process.

In the IG world that I participate in, this change in language couldn't be
made without consensus from the list.

It's also a slippery slope IMO.  Next it'l be person x wanting to insert a
caluse about their pet gripe, then person y will jump in and want their
issue mentioned, etc.
