I support clarifying the meaning. Maybe the best way is to compose several
alternative replacements that have different meanings (but all of which are
clear in *what* they mean) and see which one survives the process. I'd
actively work to support some, and actively work to oppose some.
My fundamental point here, which I haven't seen any discussion on, is that
I'd rather see clarity and strict interpretation, and working for change
openly, than what we have now, which is flawed, because it's not an open
process.
