Re: Motion 27: NO
John,
you are comparing apples with pears. Motion 26 is part of the tet
whereas motion 27 is written as a position paper.
The main differences are:
motion 26 the containment order of decorations, the FTDIA
motion 27 decorations describe the history of computation, they have NO
impact on comparisons, therefore an explicit FTDIA is not necessary the
usual FTIA is sufficient

I vote NO on motion 27 in its present form. Though it has much overlap with motion 26, it is too imprecisely stated and has some technical errors. By the time it is hardened up to be precise enough for a standard it won't be much shorter than (the corresponding parts of) motion 26.
I think Arnold Neumaier's quote from Einstein was apposite: "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler". Motion 27 is simpler than possible.
