Hello again,

I read again the whole bug discussion.  For most of the propositions, all the
participants, you included, agreed that they are not in the scope of the
version 1.0 that we really want to publish soon.

For other points, for instance that stand-alone license sections can also
accept short names accompanied by their license exception, a clarification
would not hurt; but I do not consider this a blocking problem.

Unfortunately, you have included at least one normative change, the
recommendation to collate short names that are identical except for a terminal
“plus” character, that has direct consequences on parsing and is therefore not
acceptable for the version 1.0.

Have a nice week-end,
