You raise a number of valid points on Rob's document.  Perhaps it
could be approached in a different way, and I encourage people to try
(I will say that doing so is much harder than it might appear to be).
But Rob's effort makes it much easier for people like me to pose the
following question:

If you look at the list of sections that Rob cut, do we, as a group,
have consensus that we want to include each and every last one of
those in the draft we put forward for Last Call this fall, and are we
confident that we will have zero open issues on each by that time?
