Re: [Ecrit] Proposal to add"applicability" statementto -framework/-phonebcp

["Stark, Barbara" <bs7652 at att.com>]

I agree that "currently" isn't needed in the sentence. Something either is or isn't covered in the document. I also have a problem with specifically bringing up other "frameworks" as not being covered. There's so much that this document doesn't cover (which is fine, because otherwise we'd never finish it). Basically, this document doesn't describe interworking between this framework and anything external to this framework.

That's what is commonly referred to as a "forward looking statement".  I don't like the use of "currently" or "at the time of writing", or anything like that.

I've watched this discussion with faltering interest.  My feeling is that this is an almost farcical waste of our time.
