I'm certain MAAWG won't object to that change.  Do I need to send the note?

I lean more towards Frank Ellerman's interpretation (elsewhere in this thread), but if there's a strong interest in changing it then I won't push back much.

Perhaps a better change would be simply: "This document is an attempt to clarify the ways..."

MAAWG will insist on keeping this.  The primary purpose, in my mind, is to show that even though this wasn't written within the IETF it was still written by people who really do know what they're talking about.
