I'm trying not to make any judgmental statements one way or another in
the document. I don't think it's appropriate there. Rather, I'm trying
to describe the current behavior. How well I'm succeeding at this is
open to debate, I guess.

I think we need to get the in incremental steps.

And, I think phrases like "consistent way" and "improves overall
cleanness" are very subjective. Exchanges will be more constructive if
folks could stop asserting their own opinions as undisputed fact. E.g.,
see:

especially the "Some Formulations..." section

or:
http://www.generalsemantics.org/about/13-common.htm

Anyway, I'm about to post V3. Have at it.
