I still don't get your reply or both statements/paragraphs above and it
would be nice to get some type of confirmation with regards to the 
points/questions stated earlier (in my previous mail) as there were many.
I think we need concrete decisions on what should be done and what to move
on with.

Thomas, am I correct in saying that any proposal that adds new characters
you don't want to be a part of (you'd rather see them as part of a new
rendering engine spec) ?  If I'm mistaken do please state clearly without
justification even (if that simplifies life) the points you agree with
or don't with regard to the proposal.  We need to move on as I'm seeing
circular discussions taking place.

Salam.
