Patrick,

Yes, right now I think that it is mostly these mechanical aspects of how 
the specifications are physically merged and I appreciate your offer to

The discussion/review will show whether there are issues as regards 
content which need to be resolved. I suspect, that conformance 
requirements may be a subject that may see some debate, but that is just 
a guess.
