I will release at least one newer draft that includes the explanation of
how history works, since I believe that section is uncontroversial.  I
will try to do that soon.

The remaining controversy is over Injection-Date handling.  I think the WG
reached a consensus that the language in -09 is not a good idea.  I have
one proposed replacement text and Charles has another.  (Please someone
else correct me if I got this wrong; it's been a long time.  All I know
for sure is that I have a replacement text.)  I think either of those
would be an improvement over the current text, which is muddled and not
particularly clear.
