Re: [wg-d] Fwd: Draft Report to the NC regarding interim measures

I'm not sure of the value of a "rebuttal" approach, at least in terms
of "replies" to other groups sub-reports.  There could well be 3 or
more points of view represented in a WG report, and the replies could
get complicated.  A sub report could have a section that addresses
alternate arguments in general, without casting it as a "reply" to
another sub report.  If there are two or more iterations of the whole
report, that should give various groups opportunity to polish their 
arguments, without casting it in the somewhat antagonistic model of 
"replies" and "rebuttals".

	I agree.  What's important is that the proponents of various views
get to take each others' positions into account and reshape their own
arguments and positions accordingly, not that the report include formal
"rebuttals."
