The "Official" Rules

[Guy.Steele at CMU-10A]

Well, I don't know what the official rules are, but my understanding
was that my present job is simply to make the revisions decided
upon in November, and when that revised document comes out we'll have
another round of discussion.  This is not to say that the discussion
going on now is useless.  I am carefully saving it all in a file for
future collation.  It is just that I thought I was not authorized to
make any changes on the basis of current discussion, but only on what
was agreed upon in November.  So everyone should rest assured that a
clearly labelled document like the previous "Discussion" document
will be announced before any other "official" changes are made.

(Meanwhile, I have a great idea for eliminating LAMBDA from the language
by using combinators...)
