Thanks for the feedback, everybody, I appreciate the contribution to the
discussion around my paper.

There's a lot to respond to in this thread by now; to make sure that my
response isn't overly long for an email, and that it's discoverable outside
the reflector, I plan to explain my thinking through the paper system, via
a new revision of P4030, and/or a new rebuttal paper to P4279. I'll update
this reflector thread with links once I've had time to collect and write up
my thoughts properly.

Thanks,

Eddie
