The discussions at the time were long, detailed, and raised several
loosely-related issues, all of them in the context of what to say in
the document we were composing that described the recommended
procedures.  I don't remember the details, sorry.  Once we understood
the issues and made the decision, there was no need for me to keep
those details in memory.  Maybe David or someone else remembers; if
not, there's no way around the need to read those discussions.
