Subject: Committee position
After extended discussion, the chair summarizes the committee's position:
1. The uniqueness requirement is a deliberate design choice with known limitations.
2. Clustering will cause common patterns to exhaust. Late adopters with typical profiles will face elaboration pressure.
3. This pressure may be burdensome or clarifying, depending on the person.
4. The system cannot distinguish genuine from manufactured distinction. This is accepted.
5. The format captures substantial but not unlimited expressive capacity, appropriate to the purpose.
The committee recommends proceeding with the uniqueness requirement, understanding its implications. The specification should document these implications for implementers and users.
