Back on December 20 th , I sent mail to the list saying that I had made a proposal to address this issue in the GitHub repo ( Issue #66 ). Stefan and Michael provided some feedback, and I think we are close enough now that I am going to write the “spec-ese” for the proposal. Stefan , please see my most recent reply to the comment thread in the issue. Please let me know if I have addressed your concerns. Everybody else, please take a look at the proposal. In the next day or two, I will submit a change draft to be voted on at the next TC meeting. The discussion thread in the issue is long, so you might have trouble finding what I am actually proposing. Look for the comment that begins “ My proposal above omitted something”. That comment contains the proposal – except that from Stefan’s and Michael’s feedback, I will rename originalLogFile to analysisToolLogFile , and I will rename originalLogContents to analysisToolLogContents . Thanks, Larry
