Paul,

Despite your "will not be an RFC" comment above, I was
tentatively planning to fold your list into the introduction to
the Rationale document since it is a start on an
executive-summary-level overview of what is different.   Unless
you, or others, object, that will be in the first WG version of
that document, which I'm going to try to have out sometime next
week.

Of course, if I'm going to do that, fairly quick input about
things that should be either added or dropped is even more
important (although I expect that Rationale will go through
several revisions so that the things I get wrong can be
corrected).

More broadly and for others, I'm trying to go through the
pre-charter discussions now to capture what should be covered in
Rationale and is not.  Left to my own devices, I will probably
miss some things.   So, if anyone else would like to summarize
topics that are not now covered, I would appreciate it... and at
least get placeholders in for further discussion.

best,
     john
