Part of the point about a number of the things that were mentioned was
not that they're suitable for standardization, but that they should be
kept in mind so that the standard at least doesn't conflict with them.

I don't see any significant omissions or mis-inclusions on your list as
strictly a list of the things that might be standardi[sz]able.

I don't want it to drag on either, but because I think we need to send
off our list to DK et al. as soon as possible.  Either the ball is not
