Ray,

The problems that we would have if the decisions needed to build
tools were not available by the 15th or some earlier date were
discussed on the list, I believe in late January.   There were
some rather clear commitments that we would not have this
problem, i.e., that the ducks would be sufficiently lined up
that changes could be made and people could post documents with
the workaround not later than the 16th, if not earlier.  

So the announcement was made and, despite those commitments, the
ducks obviously were not lined up, the tools were not ready, and
we still can't, in practice, post drafts that need the
workaround text.  Even if we could cut and paste the text in, we
have no statements about where it goes or decisions/opinions
from Counsel as to whether it can be dropped into a random place
in the document or needs to be next to the front-matter
copyright statements.

And, today, you respond, not to that January discussion or the
associated commitments, but to a note posted last Friday... one
that it took you a week to get around to responding to when the
commitments indicated that we've have answers contemporary with
the announcement of the new text.

For all of the reasons cited in the January discussion, this has
gone far enough.  Independent of promises about what might get
done next week, I want to know --and I think the community is
entitled to know -- who is accountable.

     john
