Hi Kevin,

You have a lot of valuable ideas. My feedback begins with re-iterating
that we must first stabilize and disambiguate what is defined in 2.0, including
correcting errors.

I may be mistaken about the specific position we are taking on $table, because
of its popularity in the Antrim implementation. In terms of your proposal,
if we are already consciously defering any work on vpi-ams, I see it equally
reasonable for us to defer examining the compiled C model issue until we get
the higher priority things done.

I don't want to continue politely disagreeing with your enhancement suggestions because
they do not follow the priorities. My suggestion is that we agree that there is
window in our development of the OVI 2.1 spec for enhancement discussion,
and we simply collect ideas as they come for that purpose. If we do not
think the 2.1 schedule golas we have will permit doing that, then we well
wish to agree not to take enhancements until 2.2 or change the schedule goal
to give us time to work the suggestions.

Any comments?
