In the email quoted below you are asking for all solutions to go into the document, yet time and again you claim that we should not just be throwing things in willy-nilly since a large document is less likely to be read. I find it very difficult to understand what you feel is wrong. It seems the point is so subtle as to require seemingly infinite discussion, with negligible practical impact on the workings of the group, except that it has the unfortunate side effect of removing some of our focus from our actual goals.
