I think the doc we have should be sufficiently useful, and besides, 
we've been requested to do.  I'd say just ship it and if the IESG 
evaluation shows that it's not good enough, let's reconsider.

To be clear, even though I said "rather long and conversational in 
tone", I was *not* asking the document to be rewritten to _not_ be 
that.

What I was hoping was maybe some more structure and changes in the 
document's organization so that the "conversation" would be more 
manageable.
