<p class=MsoNormal>Shawn wrote “… Given these, and other, mechanisms currently
provided for in ISO/IEC 29500, and that such mechanisms provide support for the
known versioning use cases, WG4 does not believe we need a new versioning
technology. We continue to evaluate new versioning-related use cases, and
in the event we find one which cannot be supported by existing versioning
technologies, we will consider adding additional versioning technology at that
time.”<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I think Shawn had it just right. I agree with him that this
is exactly the right time to make a strong/definitive statement. We have spent
so much time on this issue and made no change whatsoever. I am not aware of any
member feeling so much in doubt that they are actively working on proposals to identify
unhandled cases that need new mechanisms.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We could add the prefix “WG4 is not sure” in front of many
decisions we’ve made thus far, but that would unnecessarily weaken those
responses. We always reserve the right to revisit our decisions if new
information comes along. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I support strongly Shawn’s original words.<o:p></o:p></p>
