OK - I've endorsed one of Naill's ideas in the form of the above suggestion.

a) I think it's simple to implement.

b) if it doesn't work it's simple to retract.

c) We've had the normal back and forth about it - with the usual number of tangents and side tracts and I don't see a strong argument against at least trying it out.

So let's try this out.

The only thing is I don't have any idea who has the authority to implement this. The Review Wizard could just start implementing it on his own - though I'm not sure he'd be comfortable with that. So I'll guess that its the steering committee. I'll send them a copy.
