The XTM spec should not go away. It should, however, remain completely
unchanged and stable (with the possible exception of implementing the
resolution Jack Park put forward on editorial credit). 

The cliches (topoi ;-) in my mind for any alternative to complete
stability begin with "opening a can of worms" and end with "the camel's
nose under the tent."
