I wrote a bit on this in a separate thread (sorry for the scattering
-- there were already several going I think).  I think the Spins SIG
is fully capable of figuring out what is a major change and what is
not.  If any specific problems arise, I think it would be appropriate
for the SIG to escalate as it would any other issue.  What do you
think?
