After coming to agreement on the technical need for these capabilities,
there are a couple of additional points to consider:

   1) if we decide to explicitly support these capabilities, can it
      be done in a manner consistant with progression of the document?

   2) if the addition of these is inconsistant with progression, is there
      a preference for:

      a) adding the features and cycling at "Proposed"?
      b) handling these features in a separate document?

These apply to both the Schedule and the Script MIBs.
