It occurs to me that arrival of proposals via the office-comment list, as opposed to specific comments on ODF specifications, is straining the bounds of the commenter agreement. This is different than wandering off into discussion. Rather, I have concerns on substantial proposals that are essentially new work items or offering of additional technologies. These appear to be contributions of a rather different, substantial nature from non-obligated contributors.
This occured to me with regard to the "Proposal to improve change tracking in ODF" recorded as OFFICE-3312,
