Process point: This is currently being discussed on the www-international list about an issue that has been raised in a .prep product - ie. not yet formally sent to the MLT-LT WG. That's ok, but at some point the issue needs to be discussed in the MLW-LT mailing list. Don't know whether you want to continue here, or save your thoughts for later, when I guess you'll need to repeat them. I don't mind either way, just thought i'd mention it.
