Bronis,

It really seems to me that these changes exceed the guidelines that Rich and Bill have given for the release draft. While I understand the reasoon behind them, it is unclear that we will have reviewed them properly. For example, I think the wording below could use work. This is a clear error and can cause significant confusion on the user's and implementer's side. Most of the text is copied from the point-to-point section and is thus consistent with the remainder of the document (even though I don't like the wording there ("should") at all!).

I am in transit to ANL right now so I cannot go over it properly until at least tonight... Please take your time and check. We are not intending to rush.

Even then, this feels rushed. I don't think there is rush. We can release the document without this fix (with a known bug). That's why I commit each item separately. However, I'm against a release with bugs but that's not my decision.
