Okay, so let me correct the specific data point of DS. We could delay  
to WG last call. A year ago, I would have thought that we'd never be  
able to drop a canonicalization like relaxed. It looks like that was  
pessimistic. I just don't think the time is now to drop it. If we  
agreed now to revisit during last call whether it was to stay or go,  
I'd be happy.
