Re: Last call comment about readonly property with calculate (PR#45)

I have read through the minutes and it seems you don't even consider my 
request. The statement by John "I don't think you can do that kind of 
isolation." clearly displays the ignorance from which the decissions are 
made in the working group.

I accept the resolution simply because I give up.
