I presume there would still be a 60-day comment period for the
entirety of the specification at the end of the process? I ask because
I doubt there is any portion of the specification that is not
interdependent with the rest. Not having an opportunity to study and
comment on the whole would be somewhat reminiscent of the parable of
the group of wise blind men describing the elephant by each examining
only one part. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Men_and_an_Elephant>.
