I think we need further review not so much of the proposals
but of the underlying issues. We started with one proposal, GCT, which was an offering to provide change tracking across all of ODF. Microsoft then proposed a different approach which built on ODF 1.2 CT and covered only ODT. These were very different approaches, and both had keen supporters. There must be some reason for this. The work we have been doing in developing the report is to identify the fundamental issues that drive these different approaches. And I think we have done that, and the Conclusion in the report identifies those issues (probably not all of them). Therefore I think we need feedback on those issues, more so than on the specific proposals. It is difficult to develop a solution unless you know the goals and constraints, and the relative importance of each of them. And I agree with Rob that the wider community can help to provide that. But I do not think it is reasonable to ask them to evaluate the proposals in detail - we have done that and this report details the advantages and disadvantages of each. The question is: which of the features/benefits are most important to the stakeholders? Let's get the report out, then we can look at Svante's work while we await feedback.
