- Not to sound like the voice of reason (me?? Nah.), but if
- there isn't enough participation to get the job done, perhaps
- there's not enough interest in having the standard. In that
- case, abandon the problem for now until enough folks get interested.
- It'll happen if it's really important. If not, then it's not
- ready for standardization.
