Great. I'm going to take a closer look at that and Kent's suggestions in

I agree that's the main point of 1.2, but I'm not sure we gain much quickly
getting it in place given feedback on the last call that it would require

I think you're probably right. Will review again and try to get either a
conformance vote or further discussion on BC and AB started in the next
