We should avoid writing alternatives into the document at almost any cost.
The purpose of this subgroup is to present our best proposal with as few
choices left open as possible. If we leave alternatives in the document we
invite perpetual and irritating debate. I do not want to have two nearly
identical define-method-combination writeups. I do not want a precise CPL
computation section followed by a ``you can predict'' section.
If {we | this group | this committee | Danny, Gregor, Moon, and I} {cannot
| will not} {make | come to | agree upon} {a reasonable | an acceptable}
{decision | consensus}, how can the committee as a whole?
