I don't have any problem with the intent here.  But we need to make sure 
that the immediate need to resolve our existing internal disputes and 
get our deliverables delivered doesn't get sidetracked by the 
longer-term goal of providing constructive feedback to ISO.

This is especially true since some people have been writing "why don't 
we make XXX a macrolanguage" or "why don't we define macrolanguages 
differently," so it is clear that not everyone understands where the 
boundary is between our work and ISO's.  While tZ�k��.�Ǭ���y��5��4���������Ȟ����jT��!�������ޖ+ޭ�'�}�܆[k��܆+�������E��&��q�a��۽4ռ����jk%r�����"�13�A� ���<׽{�;��s���jT�������
