I agree with this view.

We should make room in the requirements, in order to have some space for 
engineering decisions. This idn problem is not simple, and it is pretty 
clear from our discussions that the solution will be some sort of 
compromise. We were able to discuss requirements mostly because we had many 
proposals on the plate to discuss. We should be able to review different 
alternatives, so we need not to tight requirements too much.

If we are stuck too long on the requirements, we will never have a 
standard.  Worst, we will have 20 standards deployed. Then at that time, 
trying to refine requirements will be waste of time: we will have to take 
care of the current deployed "standards" and try to make one out of them. 
Much more difficult.

Marc.
