Do you know what happens when you send an email too quickly, without reading it at least twice?
It goes out with an ambiguous statement, is too easy to misinterpret, and causes undo anxiety.
The line-item that *might* be deleted is the one about assumed-rank. Daniel had sent a comment, I contacted him for more info, he said he might retract it, but he would let me know by tomorrow.
Van's comment, and his paper, are staying on ISO_Comments document, as -- of course -- they should.
I'm sorry for the confusion --

I am very disappointed by this process.
In twenty years (plus one meeting in 1986), I have never seen any other paper disappear without any discussion. Every other paper of mine that came out of subgroup with "no action" was discussed with me, either in /data or in a sidebar with at least one member of another subgroup.
No other paper has ever been ruled out of order without discussion.
Does anybody care to offer up a reason for keeping locality specs? I gave two reasons why I believe they're undesirable. Nobody has defended them. Nobody has objected to my reasoning.
Here's one more reason, not in 17-144: They amplify the goofiness of statement function dummy arguments, which we decided we sufficiently dislike to print them in obsolescent font. There are too many things that get their attributes by magic. Why add more?
If we keep the locality specs, could we print them in obsolescent font?
