I agree on all points with both sides.

First, these often can't be used directly for production code because there are 
too many errors and omissions... so far. But I believe these _should_ be made 
as reliable as possible so that they can form a clear and useful standard, and 
obviously IBM needs to do it.

Finally, yes, this is a wider issue than just MI, so it should be raised 
elsewhere. I nominate Buck to do it.  :)
