Same here... now keeping those goals in mind for when we finish the work
as currently set out for the WG is a good idea.  I believe the expression
is 'lets try and get the thoughts down and the ink dry on the draft before
we publish 1000s of copies'.  

I personally think that given our WG mandate, we are starting to get closer
to finishing the first goal, which is a good step to make.

Jack
