Summary of opinions of dissenters
 +Command line options per vendor are sufficient.  Enhancement unnecessary
  or consider standardizing command line switches.
 +Enhancement not implemented.  Not a proven capability.
 +Of those considering a directive, there are some suggested changes
  to current proposal
  - `keywords/`endkeywords adopt a stack-based behavior
  - Consider adapting to the pragma capability introduced by the
    encryption enhancement

Next meeting tentatively scheduled for December 20, 9am-11am PST.

10:55AM Meeting adjourned.
