On this point ...

... I can say that we've already accumulated quite a list of things to 
change:

Some were noted between April 2008 (when we started work on the BP) and 
October 2011 (when we released it) but set aside because the problems 
were too complicated or because the solution depended on work that was 
underway in the TEI community as a whole.  Others have arisen because of 
changes that Council has made to P5 since this fall.
