resuming progress on TAP

[Ray Plante]

Hi Guys,

I guess what I don't understand is what exactly the motivation is behind 
this suggestion to either take TAP into this two step process or to split 
it into separate documents, besides that you like the idea.  What problems 
is it meant to solve?  We have these last two integrated vesions, and as 
I understand it some effort to further tweak the organization back around 
early December.  Why, then, do we need to take a step backward?

It's not that I don't think there are issues--we know there are.  But what 
are they?  I can't see how these new proposals will solve problems when 
the problems have not been spelled out.  (I made my own attept to pull 
some out in a previous message, but I was hoping others who have concerns 
would explain what they are.

One concern of mine is that these proposals are effectively about *not* 
talking about the issues.  If we can write down what they are, we can talk 
about them.  If we can talk about them, we can propose solutions and 
discern which direction to go.

cheers,
Ray
