Re: [802SEC] IEEE model P&P



John,

I like the idea in principle, but note that the baseline P&P also
evolves, so what can and can't be changed is always changing.  Tracking
it is a real pain.  Actually I don't like the idea of a baseline with
non-modifiable text.  If we can't change it, it shouldn't be in our
document.  I should be in a superior document and reference by us so we
are always up to date.  I suggested this at AudCom the other day but it
was not well received.  The baseline should be an outline with draft
text as guidance.  What sections are present and types of rules they
should contain should be mandatory, but not the rules themselves.
Certainly it should not mandate rules controlled by an external
organization that can be changed independent of our document and become
a synchronization issue.  At least that's my take.

What would people think about somehow indicating the text in our P&P 
that is not allowed to be changed from the model P&P? It could be some 
means such as a difference in font, or underlined, or gray rather than 
black. Or it could be some explicit tag. Or some other means. I think 
this is useful information, and its a hassle to check through two 
documents to figure out which text is so encumbered.
