Ron,
In my mind, it isn't a question of what to do, so much as a question
of what to work on first. I'd prefer to work on how to move opaque
config
blobs around first, which gets rid of screen scraping, then move on to
other stuff (in my mind, "other stuff" is pretty open-ended at this
point).
From the above, I gather you prefer to work on everything at once.
My own past experience is that IETF WGs are not at all successful when
a WG tries to work on more than one thing at a time. It sounds like
your mileage might vary from mine.
Reasonable people might well reach different conclusions on
this topic.
Cheers,
Ran
