OK let me try to direct this discussion.
You guys were speaking past each other, no dialog is happening.
And as long as it goes on no progress will be made and you
will keep going in circles.

Parav here made an effort and attempted to summarize
use-cases addressed by your proposal but not his.
He couldn't resist adding "a yes but" in there oh well.
But now I hope you know he knows about your use-cases?

So please do the same. Do you see any advantages to Parav's
proposal as compared to yours? Try to list them and
if possible try not to accompany the list with "yes but"
(put it in a separate mail if you must ;) ).
If you won't be able to see any, let me know and I'll try to help.

Once each of you and Parav have finally heard the other and
the other also knows he's been heard, that's when we can
try to make progress by looking for something that addresses
all use-cases as opposed to endlessly repeating same arguments.
