May I request that from now on, if you have a proposal for 1.1, (1) please send it with a relevant subject, (2) please use that subject for all discussion of that proposal, and (3) restrict the use of that subject to discussion of that proposal. That way, I can put a link in the proposal table to the originating message (in the archive) and you can scroll through the messages for that topic -- there's a button on the archive page. Assuming you can get to the archive -- if you have trouble let me know. If you think this is an unreasonable approach (exercising some discipline with subjects) please let me know and I'll try to come up with another way to manage this, but this way is easiest for me. And I realize that there's a problem with Theo's use of "Betr" and I don't quite know what to do about that except provide dual links.
