Heleen,

It is kind of you to try to coordinate, but you don't seem to understand the issues. 
There are already two competing proposals since 2016-06-30, when we uploaded
ours onto L2. What I've tried to do in the past emails is to point out that a naive 
attempt to pick and choose from the two proposals leads to inconsistencies. We 
need a coherent design, not majority votes for wishlists of individual elements,
nor a friendly compromise that leaves us with ambiguous or inconsistent notation.

The problems I have pointed out are quite technical, difficult, and not amenable
to oral communication alone, and a conference call is not going to bring us any closer 
to a resolution.

Mark-Jan
