i think Avri's point is REALLY important.  i'm hunting for ways to make sure 
that the minority points of view get included in our work product.

my brain isn't much good today (this seems to be Jetlag Day for me) so i'm not 
terribly proud of these ideas and would welcome improvements

-- if the minority view isn't included in the Atoms list, let's make an atom 
for that idea and let the two big gaggles develop positions.  maybe the 
minority view will become one of those.

-- if the minority view on an existing atom doesn't show up in either of the 
two big-blob proposals, let's develop and report those minority views by atom

-- let's encourage the two big-blob groups to give the minority-viewpoint 
people one more listen and try to figure out some middle ground

Avri's absolutely right -- if we walk out of here with minority-position folks 
feeling that their views haven't been heard or considered, we haven't done 
right by them.
