   I already am, actually - and it was me who suggested to
   send it to the 2D list, sorry for the confusion - I just
   followed Neal's proposal.

   This is really confusing.

   According to Mark we're supposed to send the proposal to
   the announce, but vote should be held on the group mailing
   list, and the vote result is reported on the announce list
   (but Mark I think mistakenly said "discuss" list in his last
   email).

   Thanks,
     Dmitri
