Last I knew, JonL had said there were "conceptual" problems. I said
that, if there were, I didn't understand what they were. And that was
the last I saw on this topic. Maybe I'd managed to convince JonL?
In Hawaii, some people objected on grounds of efficiency or because
they didn't have a spare bit (see the Rees suggestion in the
proposal).
I think the ammendments proposed in Hawaii might have answered both
kinds of objection, but I remember thinking that some of the
ammendments were unnecessary or wrong.
Perhaps those who still have objections can say what they would like
to change and why.
